Buying a Jeep to tow behind a Super C,,,,RV place want to install a AIR FORCE 1 air brake using the air system on my RV. Anyone using this system VS the Electric Blue Ox system? Pros/Cons? Recs?

Overkill, honestly if you’ve got a Super C with air brakes then that’s plenty of stopping power and won’t even notice a Jeep behind.

I have a Renegade Super C. I had the same decison 4 years ago but with a F150. I went with the AF1 and glad I did. I'ts so easy to hook up. Buy both an extra airline and lights harness.

He's towing a vehicle for a toad not towing a toad. If you towed a toad it would quickly end up like Aunt Edna's dog in the Griswolds.

Just don’t tow it in 4 low like this guy.

quote:

Tuten told The Drive that when the techs began diagnosing the vehicle, they noticed it had been left in “4-Low,” which is what you’d want when traversing rough terrain at low speeds, or if stuck in a rut—but most definitely not while being towed at highway speeds. For reference, the JL Wrangler manual explicitly states not to exceed 25 miles per hour with 4-Low engaged.

What’s even more damaging is that the vehicle was also left in first gear, meaning that as the wheels of the Wrangler turned, so did the driveshaft, transmission, and the rotating assembly of the engine. Tuten did a bit of napkin math and figured that at 55 mph, the engine was spinning somewhere around 50,000 rpm, well above the factory redline of 6,600 rpm.
