All four EZ Twistlock bracket styles feature:

  • Available for cars, SUV's, and trucks 
  • Brackets can come as single units or as two parts

EZ4 and EZ5 brackets have a clean, uncluttered look, whether you're towing or driving.
 

A spring loaded locking system allows the brackets to be recessed even farther than earlier models. Both locks 'cick' as each of the front arms are rotated into position; pull a ring and twist the front arms 90 degrees to remove them. 

Safety cable anchor tabs are located for convenience and easy of use. Since the tabs will accomodate a snap hook, the safety cables can be connected directly to the bracket, eliminating the short racket safety cables entirely.

These brackets also have a convenient, built-in mounting point for the electrical socket.
