I don't have specifics on exact model or even brand as it has been some time since I bought and things like prices and features change! Blue Ox was what we used and found very easy to work.
One of the big things is to get the correct fittings to match your vehicle and often that means you will want to buy bar and fittings together to assure matching!
But when not used to using them, there are features I like to point out as it is easy to miss some things that make life better!
So a "home spun" version of what I like?
This is a snip of a Blue OX and I numbered it to give a bit of what I found good.
If you think of it as I do, it looks something like a person that has their arms extended up above their body? I did say "home spun, right?
So you want a good firm body as that is what holds all the rest.
Then way out at the ends you have hands (1) that are great for grabbing things as they grab tight and have wrists (2) that let the hands swivel to fit what they need to grab, even if it is tilted a bit! When you pull the car up behind the RV, you don't want a fight to get it exactly the right distance and it may wind up on unlevel ground. The car may tilt to one side and the RV may be tilted the other way, so you want to move the "hands" up/down or in out to grab the hitch points. Think of sliding instead of elbows at (3) ? Combined with shoulders at (4) and (5) you can get the idea that you can move the hands in/out, twist or move them left/right or up and down almost like your hands when you want to grab something! The car doesn't even have to be totally in line as you can reach out a bit further with one hand than the other!
Then as a small point look at the handles at 3 where you release the arm extension. You want those to be nice big grips, not little buttons to push because there WILL be times when you get parked and want to release the car but the whole thing is in a bit of bind, so nice big handles work better when it's tight! sometimes when you are on a hill, the car will be trying to pull away or push and that makes it harder to move the tow bar connections if they are under pressure! You may find it helps to relieve this pressure if the wife moves the car just a touch?
Nice sturdy coiled brakeaway cables are better than without coils as it keeps them from getting loose and dragging or being too tight when cornering! We hope we never need them but want them if we do ever lose the hitch pin!
Bottom line is I have no specific brand but these points seem to make it work better.
Hard to beat nature and the design of how we move things!
