Brake Controller for Trailer

[tybo480]

I am looking for a brake controller for a trailer i recently bought. If anybody has one laying around, let me know

I have a 2005 ford freestar minivan but i dont think that matters, i can find a wiring harness for it.

Dude, I might have seen one at a thrift store.....trying to remember. Stop by furniture liquidators. It's canton road...just south of 92 on the west side. Little run down strip mall with lawnmowers. but maybe it was a garage sale. Man, i just saw one somewhere....

Better off buying new for what its worth. Mostly all parts stores carry them wouldnt second guess my brakes

Camper292000 ill run over there and check. Its 6 min away from me

dixieammo im not sure where to get one at a reasonable price that will work well. Seems like all the digital or more adjustable ones are over $70

austin147123 what is the brand and model of that unit?

tybo480 ..... Dunno model, I'm think brand is reliance

austin147123 ill pass on that. Looked at reviews and its not very adjustable or reliable from ratings. Id like to find a nicer one at an even nicer price!

tybo480 For what it's worth, spend the money on a good controller. If you're pulling a trailer that has brakes then the only thing between you and a bad day is that box. I used to use the prodigy by tekoshna. It's an inertial controller which means it senses the braking by the vehicle and adjusts the trailer as needed. They are probably still in the neighborhood of $100
