GOOD PRODUCT: Trailer Accessory

This Brake Controller works as described on the label. The only thing to note is that manual control only works at full power. I don't know why anyone needs it. But you get what you paid for. I'll probably make it and update as I travel more with the trailer.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Only available in white

Extra Breaking Power

Great towing accessory for our Van 350. Direct fit. Works really well when you're pulling a heavy load. Gives you extra stopping power when you need it most. Adjustable braking power so you don't burn your trailer tires when the trailer is empty. Pick it up when you have a heavy load.

Pros
  • Heavy Duty Construction
Cons
  • No

Works great, I don't know which feature of more expensive models should be spent more on. Easy installation if I have the right connector. I carefully selected the fork posted on Revain as "frequently bought together" when the site told me it would fit my Dodge Ram. They sent me a Ford/Mercury connector. I've been waiting for it to be installed for over a month, so returns are not accepted.

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • Problem

The red button allows the user to control the power from five to ninety-five and stop instantly without using the tractor's brakes. If you are already using the towing vehicle's brakes at the…

Pros
  • One Year Trial
Cons
  • Secret
