Re: Trailer Brake Controller?

The Tekonsha Prodigy is an inertial design, and from my research it is currently considered by most RV trailer forums as about the best electric brake controller available. I just purchased one for a Ford Excursion that I use as a tow vehicle for an 8,000 pound travel trailer and also a horse trailer. Set-up for different trailer weights is very simple as I made the setting changes from the travel trailer to the horse trailer just last evening. Also, most new trucks are designed with a factory plug in connection under the dash for a brake controller. As Joules mentioned you just need to purchase the correct Tekonsha wire harness with the plug style for your tow vehicle. No splicing necessary, just plug it in and mount it with a couple screws. Installing and adjusting the brake controller is the easy part, getting the horse into the trailer is a whole different story.
