That's a great comparison. I use a Bluetooth controller now because of issues in my tow vehicle. I know I need a quality wired controller to properly operate my rig. Keep up the content.

Great video! I have the P2 prodigy. I love it. I first used it on my 2000 suburban and the pigtail plugged right in to the fuse block area, so easy. Now it's in my 2003 chevy 1500hd. I like the fact that it's acceleration (deceleration) based and not timer based.

Thank you! Straight to the point and why you like this brand. I'll be ordering one.

Great summary good advice, very knowledgeable, tks

Great video. Thanks!

I have been installing controllers over for 30 years. With out one hesitation, Tekonsha is the best controllers on the market. In all these years, I have installed an average of 50-100 controllers a year. I only warrantied maybe 10 Tekonsha controllers. I will install "other" manufacturers controller on request by customer but that is their choice.

Awesome video. Need more real world top .... Videos.

Gday, I have a p3 control, do I have to check the controller every time I hook up ? With the same trailer? I have been using mine for about 2 yrs( came with car ) last tow my right caravan wheel locked up, short skid, next brake application spun both my backing plate assemblies, broke the square plate welds, was only doing about 35kmh, brake shoe adjustments are fine, can my unit have had a power spike ? If so , what may of caused it ?

Hi, I have an 07 Silverado Classic 1500 with HD tow package(7-pin plug). I don't do a lot of pulling, but I have had to pull a double-axle a couple of times equipped with brakes. As far as I can tell, everything is pre-wired, just need to plug in to driver kick panel. Do I still need to run anything to fuse box, and what would your recommendation be for a controller?

Great Video! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Tekonsha brake controller line up!

Howdy. I tested trailer plug on Yukon. Is this normal? I was connected to a known good trailer rig. I noticed when I turned my Yukon lights on, the RV brakes were getting some power...I could hear them whining, even in Park. I was parked in Park and Parking Brake on. It does the same thing in Drive, Reverse and Neutral. It will read 3.9V to 4.1V on the brake blade even though nothing is calling for brake power. If I step on the Yukon brake firmly, it goes up to 13.xV as it should. All other pins behave normally when they should. There is always about 30 to 50mV on the brake power blade, even with the Yukon lights fully Off and the adjustment knob on the controller all the way to minimum. When I turn on the Yukon Parking or Headlamp switch, AND the manual controller button for brake power is squeezed, and the variable output knob is turned from 0 to Max, the Voltage will climb with these switches being moved and max out at 3.9 to 4.1V. It does this in Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive...exact same behavior. So I can get the power to almost stop on the brakes while driving it with the lights on, but not entirely as it always has 30 to 50 mili-volts on that blade. But then I have to manually squeeze the controller's brake button to get brakes to engage. What the hell is going on, bad Brake Controller or bad wiring job? I've never noticed brakes whining if sitting in Park unless the brake pedal was being pressed with my other vehicles. You ever experience this? Thank you!

I really like your content! I do have a question with my own trailer. I know it will be near impossible for you to comment but it may be something you have pearls of wisdom about. I am pulling a new nuCamp 320 with a 2022 Tacoma. I have installed a Redarc Tow Pro Liberty controller and have also had the unit replaced under warranty once. The problem is when I am coming to a stop. The LED indicators and braking action are normal when braking from highway speeds but as I come to a stop, the trailer brakes pulse on and off several times and yellow LED flashes. (The manual does not give any situation for this kind of event.) The brakes don't lock up, but increase in intensity quite a lot. It seems to happen after I've been driving for awhile and if I brake lightly it seems to not happen. I have already checked the adjustment on the Dexter electric brakes and those seem within normal range. Could this just be that I have the gain set a bit too high? Thanks in advance if you have an idea but understand if you can't comment. If you weren't so far away I'd definitely come in to your shop.

What do you think of the curt echo

I'm looking to replace an old pendulum style controller with a modern proportional controller. I will be towing a 29-foot 5th wheel (dual axle, electric brakes). The P3 looks interesting but I won't be towing anything with electric over hydraulic brakes so that capability isn't needed in my case. Knowing that, is there any other real advantage of the P3 over the Primus? It seems to me that the Primus would work fine in my case, but I'm no expert on brake controllers. Thanks for the video.

Which would you recommend for a 2019 Colorado V6 towing a 3600lb travel trailer? Thanks!

I have myself a 99 Silverado 1500 4x4 with the 5.3 vortec my truck is not equipped for electric brakes, I also have acquired a 20 ft tandem axle camp trailer that has electric brakes. Which brake controller can I get that is proportional that I can wire into my truck myself as I need to wire in an RV plug anyways. Normally I pull a pickup box trailer on a flat 4, my vehicle and will be the 7-round RV Plus flat-4.

Ive got a Teconsha envoy that stopped working. Doe teconsha have a service/repair dept?

How hard is it to rewire the brake wires on a pj dump trailer?

Which would you recommend me for my 2004 Silverado 2500 4x4

Which would you recommend for a 2001 f350 7.3? Mine just broke the cover fell off and trailer brakes locked on me cut the wires to get going for the time being now looking to replace.

Are there brake controllers that handle dynamic situations such as a panic braking where you might want max effort braking in a panic situation?

👍👍

Any opinion on the Redarc Elite?

I plugged mine in to a 2002 silverado and have nothing on display. Not connected to trailer yet.

what about RedArc system?

Are any of the models not seizure machines? That flashing LED display, at night, would be distracting as hell.
