Supplemental Braking Recommendation for Flat Towing a 2016 Ford F-150
Question:
i have the Blu-Ox base plate figured out and also have an Alladin Blue ox tow bar 7500# I need A braking system for the above unit. Towing with a Newmar Essex. I like the surge option but what about vacuum assist for the power brakes?

Expert Reply:
Our installers here do not like the Blue Ox Autostops that you referenced much at all. They don't seem to apply enough braking power and the install is somewhat difficult.
Since your Newmar Essex has air brakes the best system for you is the Air Force One # SM99243. It prevents false braking on the F-150 because it doesn't use the coach's brake lights for activation like a lot of other systems do.
