Why customers choose NorthTrail Auto

TowTether is a purpose-built independent breakaway cable anchor that gives your trailer a dedicated, compliant attachment point for emergency brake activation.

When a trailer separates from the tow vehicle, the breakaway cable is a last-resort safety device that should activate the trailer brakes. Many factory or improvised anchor points tie the breakaway cable to safety chains or hitch parts that can shift, fail, or interfere with proper cable deployment. TowTether creates a fixed, separate anchor designed to remain independent of the hitch and chains so the cable can operate as intended—helping your trailer’s emergency brake to engage reliably under real-world towing conditions.

How does TowTether improve emergency brake activation?

TowTether positions the breakaway cable on a stable, dedicated point so pressure is transmitted cleanly to the trailer’s emergency brake. By staying independent from chains and hitch hardware, the anchor reduces the chance of snagging, drag, or unintended slack that can prevent proper activation.

  • Solid anchor location keeps the cable aligned for direct force transfer.
  • Reduces interference from swiveling chains or shifting hitch components.
  • Designed to meet FMCSA 393.43 guidance for breakaway cable attachment.

Will it fit my trailer and hitch setup?

TowTether is engineered for broad compatibility with utility trailers, boat trailers, RVs, and horse trailers. The design focuses on mounting versatility so installers can adapt it to common frame, tongue, or crossmember locations without modifying brake systems or wiring.

  • Works with a wide range of trailer frame sizes and hitch configurations.
  • No cutting or permanent alterations required for most installations.
  • Instructions aim for straightforward placement near the hitch area for proper cable routing.

How durable is the TowTether anchor in real towing conditions?

TowTether is built from heavy-duty materials selected to withstand road vibration, weather exposure, and the rigors of regular towing. The anchor’s construction emphasizes longevity and dependable mechanical performance rather than temporary or improvised fixes.

  • Corrosion-resistant materials for outdoor resilience.
  • Robust fasteners and welds designed for continuous road use.
  • Intended to remain fixed and functional under normal towing stresses.

How simple is installation and do I need professional help?

Installation is intended to be user-friendly and usually does not require modifying trailer brakes, wiring, or hitch components. Most owners with basic tools can install TowTether following the included mounting instructions, though professional installation is an option for complex setups.

  • Mounts with standard hardware—no special tools typically required.
  • Fits common attachment points; installation guide included for correct placement.
  • Allows a safety upgrade without altering existing towing systems.

Who is this for: TowTether is designed for trailer owners who want a dedicated, dependable breakaway cable anchor—especially utility trailer users, boat owners, RV travelers, and equine haulers seeking a safer, more compliant way to secure their emergency brake cable. It suits DIY installers and professionals alike looking to reduce the risk of cable interference and support proper brake activation during a disconnect, without modifying core brake or wiring systems.
