Brake Controller Recommendation for 2011 Nissan Armada with Tow Package
Question:
I bought a utility trailer with electric brakes and my 2011 Nissan Armada platinum edition with towing package owners manual says I may need an electric brake controller. How do you know if you need one? I’m not sure if the brakes on the trailer were working when I pulled the trailer home. I’m obviously not very smart in the towing arena.

Expert Reply:
Your 2011 Nissan Armada with a factory 7-way does not have a brake controller currently but we can help with that easily. All you need is the install harness part # 3050-P and a brake controller like the Brake EVN # TK63VR and you'll be able to easily control the brakes of your trailer in a very safe way.
