NOT WITHOUT THE PRODUCT

Very good product. Easy to install if you have a jack on the truck like we have in Tundra. It made braking our 9,500-pound travel trailer much more efficient. I wouldn't tow a trailer without this manual brake control - EVER! This allows you to increase the braking power and braking performance of the trailer when driving down a steep slope. This protects the truck brakes. Before installing this controller, our truck's brakes would start chattering after a few miles of downhill driving. The only problem I had was that during installation I somehow twisted the wiring to the brake sensor on the Tundra. This caused the truck's computer to delay engine acceleration at takeoff. Luckily, Toyota adjusted the sensor for free. The truck was still under warranty.

Pros
  • Excellent general characteristics
Cons
  • Modern
