Pros

Easy to install, yes, but. I wish the display was brighter like the older version. Some people suggest just strong velcro, which would have made installation easier and definitely solved the problem.



Cons

Two tekonsha ones installed and one smashed curt pos. Called customer support 4 times with no response. Emailed curt and no response, very disappointed.

It is nearly impossible to adjust the controller while driving, and they need to be readjusted often. The braking action is inconsistent, often jerky, and rarely are the brakes applied appropriately.

Save yourself the agony and buy something else.

The brake controller in my tahoe stopped working on first tow. Only works when the trailer is plugged in. The trailer drags the tow vehicle at the end of the stop. Some of the other aspects of the trailer are faulty.

    Worth the money dont over think it

    I installed this just hours before towing a 29 foot trailer 900 miles over 8000 foot passes in windy conditions and a few white knuckle situations

    Lastly there seems to be a well known issue when first plugging it it without a trailer attached that you will get two dashes in the readout and it will not start working


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    A quick internet search revealed this known issue and simply unplugging the unit and then replugging it in with the trailer connected will reset the unit and it will begin its calibration mode


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The 5th star only would require a bit easier installation and maybe some clearer instructions on how to get it into calibration mode

    It was terrible they shouldn’t even sell those
