Question on Unified Tow Brake for 2015 C-Max Energi

[azstork]

We recently purchased a new 2015 C-Max Energi for use as a Toad with out Holiday Rambler Ambassador.  I have a US Gear Unified Tow Brake from my previous Toad (2008 Jeep Wrangler) that I would like to use in the C-Max, but have not found any information on it's use in the C-Max.  The parent company quit making this device 2 years ago, so that was a dead end.

 

Does anyone here have any experience or information on this - I did find one post where the author stated he could not get an installer to put a Unified Tow Brake installed on his C-Max because of the "brake pedal attachment" but that did not make sense to me...?  Anyone here using one?

 

Thanks

Gary

I researched several brake systems, US Gear was one of them. Went with a Blue Ox (3 legged stool :lol:) because it's such a GOOD idea, but like all good ideas in the real world NOT SO GOOD.
 
Here's a google search for "US Gear Unified Tow Brake" "hybrid" several hits, a few about Escape, MKX hybrids.

Will you have to leave the ignition ON in your Energi?
SEL's/SE's and Energi's don't play nice when being towed with the ignition ON.
 
Have you joined the Energi forum, they have a sub-forum devoted to towing the Energi?
