Show us a pic of your brake controller!
Tells us why you bought that one in particular. Then give us the pro's and con's.
I have the Tekonsha Prodigy 3 brake controller.
I bought this because I had a P1 and later needed electric over hydraulic. (P1 does not support but P2 and P3 do.) The reviews were all good for the P3, it was compact, came with a carry case, and my P1 had worked flawlessly.
Pro's
1) Removable with a clip on holder bracket which is included. (Also comes with perminent braket.)
a) So can be used amoung your fleet. (Just buy additional brackets and wiring.)
b) It can be removed to prevent theft.
2) They sell plug and play wiring for newer vehicles.
3) Has 3 levels of boost with 10 settings per. So very sensitive so can find that happy medium of truck and trailer braking.
4) Proportional not time based.
5) Can be set for electric (Magnet) or electric over hydraulic brakes.(Brake pump)
6) Small so does not stick out and hit my leg. But infront of my arm/leg so I can reach the trailer brake control lever in case I need to straighten out a swaying trailer.
Con's
1) A little pricey at around $140-160.
2) Does require you to manually switch between electric or electric over hydraulic braking.
