I have a Reese in mine Caleb, digital brakeman or whatever they call it. So simple even I can't screw it up! I got mine from my local trailer axle supplier, I got a good deal on it

Thats what i have in mine, I think ? I dont like how it applys the brakes so hard when you are just moving slowly, like in traffinc or going through a toll booth, ya know what i mean?

I have a Tekonsha controller for my bobcat trailer and it works really well.

Yup, probally more noticable with a stick than an auto though

Prodigy by tekonsha im always pulling a trailer it works great easy to set. Little more expensive than others but its by far worth it.

Agreed! I love mine,smooth and seems to allways work just right,easy to set too:drink

I also have the Prodigy, it is pricy but it is the best controller currently on the market.

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.

Prodigy! Simple, easy, And works great. My wife has towed with my truck and the Prodigy without hassle.

ANyhooo, i went with a reese controler, not sure on what the modle is. i know it has a digital read out and prograsivly applys the brakes unlike the on in my truck that applys as soon you hit the peddle!

You should just change your sig to, mine - dedicated race truck and hers - my new sled puller, we all know that's what you got in mind anyhow. Got Wheelbase?

When you guys say its 'pricey' are we talking about the same brake?

I found it for about 120 bucks, to me thats pretty cheap from the few I have seen at my local traler sales place. am I looking at the right one?

thanks guys!
