The package includes a breakaway cable switch with a removable pin, a coiled breakaway cable (red), a breakaway cable carabiner, a main safety cable designed to attach to the tow vehicle's frame, a cable clamp for securing the safety cable, and an Allen wrench for tightening the clamp. The presenter highlights that this is a complete 'one and done' system for trailer breakaway functionality.
