Question:
What is the difference between the Patriot 2 and Patriot BLU37TR Blue Ox Braking Systems?
asked by: Zach
Expert Reply:
There is one key difference between the Blue Ox Patriot 2 Portable Braking System part BRK2016 and the Blue Ox Patriot 3 Portable Braking System part # BLU37TR. The difference is an extra safety measure built into the Patriot. The Patriot # BLU37TR has new software that will alert you of any unwanted pressure on the brake pedal.
For example, if the seat was positioned too far forward and put pressure on the brake pedal without you knowing the Patriot would alert you to this whereas the Patriot 2 would not. Therefore, it is an extra measure of safety.
There are no other differences besides the added software.

I make sure the rear brake light is not on when setting my Patriot 2. I learned the pressure on the brake when setting it up and moving the seat.
