New model is the best
Light weight and easy to set up.

Not cheap, but good.
Not an inexpensive solution to braking while flat towing, but it does work very well.

Cloth seats will need the seat stiffener attachment
The set up and operation of this brake is quite easy, the remote is easy to use and the whole system works effectively. If your towed vehicle has cloth seats, or is an older jeep, buy the seat stiffener attachment. The brake applies a ton of pressure to the seat, the seat stiffener solves any future set up issue.

It's a winner
Works great. Much lighter and faster set up compared to mypast Brake Buddies.

Won’t function with a front seat adjustment bar.
I purchased this over a Brake Buddy for its compactness and features. Unfortunately, the driver’s seat adjustment in my 2016 Jeep Patriot is a bar in the front below the seat cushion.When the brake is applied, it pushes the bar into the open position and the seat slides back. I’m still working on a solution but additional equipment will negate any advantage of the smaller device.

Solid brake assist
Blue Ox Patriot brake assist unit is clearly a quality unit and once installed works very well. I am especially impressed with the smooth braking. Set unit, for first run, at "3" - too light - moved to "4" and we're good to go. Penetrating the firewall was dicey and I spent several hours finding and drilling a 1/2" hole and adding a rubber groment. Working under the dash was VERY tight - you need to remove hood hinge and finish panel on a 2011 Frod Ranger. I'm probably a good shade tree mechanic and for me tight quarters was the biggest problem.

Bought to replace a Roadmaster Even Brake
I had a Roadmaster Even brake that failed after 5 years. I was going to buy another Even brake but, decided to try a blue ox patriot brake. This was so much lighter, and a lot easier to set up than the even brake. Most of all I can put the remote monitor in the dash of my 34 feet motor home. The Roadmaster remote monitor, I have to leave it at the back of my MH because it would not communicate with the even brake in the towed vehicle.I would have rated it 5 star but I only has 1 time use.

So far so good
I will update if anything changes but so far no issues. I've used the Blue Ox BRK2022 for about 1,500 miles flat towing my vehicle and have found it easy to set-up and remove. The controller was easy to use as well. Read the directions so you can learn to set your brake force to your liking using the controller. I set my force to 3. It only takes me about 1 or 2 min to install and less than that to remove.
