Each weight distribution hitch transfers tongue weight evenly across all axles, maintaining proper steering and braking control while keeping the tow vehicle stable.

Product Details

The Equalizer 80002060 breakaway cable and switch is a critical safety component designed to automatically activate your trailer's electric brakes if the trailer becomes disconnected from the tow vehicle while driving. This 6-foot cable provides adequate length for proper installation while maintaining secure connection during normal towing operations.

Key Features:

  • 6-foot braided steel cable with weather-resistant coating for durability
  • Integrated breakaway switch activates trailer brakes automatically upon separation
  • Universal design compatible with most trailer brake systems
  • Required safety equipment in most states for trailers with electric brakes
  • Easy installation with included mounting hardware

The breakaway system works by pulling a pin from the switch when the trailer disconnects, which then draws power directly from the trailer's battery to engage the electric brakes. This helps prevent runaway trailers and is a legally required safety feature for most jurisdictions. Regular inspection and testing of the breakaway cable is recommended to ensure reliable operation when needed.

Great price, exactly what I needed. I will definitely return to Autoplicity for future autoparts orders! Thanks!

My son lives about 1500 miles from me. He had asked me to get him an Industries SuperFlow Hi-Volume Air Compressor for Christmas. <br>With a couple of click on my computer, the compressor was ordered to be shipped to him and was paid for. He had the exact compressor he requested within five days.(and that included the weekend)<br>One word sums up my experience---EASY

Purchased multiple times from autoplicity and I love it

Very quick service and lowest price.
