What is a Readybrake? It's a supplemental braking system for when you are flat towing a vehicle. I'm going to be towing a 2014 Explorer behind a 35ft Class A motorhome. The idea of the system is that when you brake, pressure is applied to the braking system, which in turn pulls your brake pedal, and applies the brake.

What I need to determine is if it's safe to drill through the firewall behind my pedal and the most efficient way to route my cable out to the bumper.

This video isn't for an Explorer, but the installation process is the same. So, what's directly behind the brake pedal in the engine bay, can I drill through, and what's the best way to route out the front of the Explorer?

 






Welcome to the Forum. :wave:
I believe this is the first post about the "Readybrake".
