Question: What is your favorite brake controller?

[LBZ]

While it may not be the cream of the crop, I`ve had good luck with a Reese Heavy duty digital. You can set the power level for different trailers and the gain seperately. I`ve used it for my 5th wheel weighing in around 8500 and my 30 ft gooseneck hauling up to 20K and it has been flawless.

I use one of these as well. I just connected it to the factory trailer brake adapter that came with my truck and I am on year number 4 with it - no problems yet.

In the case of these things, I think the less electronics the better but that's just me.

I had the prodigy too. Worked well

Wanna say I bought it from here too. http://www.rvwholesalers.com/catalog/prodigy-brake-control-by-tekonsha-17-0101.html

I have a P3, I sell them at work, we ONLY sell Tekonsha, if you are going to do please please please at least get one that is proportional and not a time based! -Jeff

Kat, I was chatting with TrailerProPops at a Dyno day last summer about controllers. While the Prodigy seems to be the forum consensus for controllers (well except for the Brakesmart, but that is an entirely different zip code ) they seem to prefer something else. Can't remember what unit it was, maybe you should PM him and see - it is their business after all...

2x I have a Prodigy from them. But I do remeber Pat saying that they had something else on there dually that they really liked. I do remember him saying that it had a pressure sensor that tapped into the brake line.

I like the Tekonsha Voyager, I'm sure that the P3 is cooler to look at but I've been using this brake controller since I could drive and still hasn't let me down.

Love my Prodigy. Would not have anything else.

prodigy and the old slide tekonsha version.... slider one is in right now as prodigy took a crap. both were/are great though. either one imo.

Just over $100 on eBay. Easy to wire in - plug and play on our trucks with the appropriate harness.

I got this one for $100 shipped. Pat had it installed quickly and it works great. Actually now he wants one

Nice!

No complaints with my tekonsha either. It's a primus, which is very similar to the prodigy. Works awesome!

Yay! Glad you got one Kat

I had to re-read that, I thought y'all said "hubby Cole"

Good buy Kat. I've had my P3 for a bit now and have had no issues with it. Its nice to be able to monitor the voltage and current. Esp if you are picking up a trailer that's not yours or if you are having braking issues with one.

 

[Big Block 88]

Man I can't remember what mine is off the top of my head, it is the Prodigy's replacement by Tekonsha, it's not as fancy

I haven't heard that one since I was in elementary school!!:rofl:
