| I highly recommend the Prodigy. I swapped over to it and love it. Like the boost feature(where you can choose three levels of initial pressure). | |

| I just installed the Prodigy on Friday and towed a 36' trailer on Saturday. All I can say after the 300 mile trip is I will only recomend this unit, it works hands down better then any other controller I have ever used. | |
