Recommended Trailer Brake Controller for 2015 Ram 2500
Question:
I want to pull an Airstream with my 2015 Ram 2500. Anyone have a recommendation for a brake controller? Is it better to wire one in or are the bluetooth ones reliable?

Expert Reply:
The electric trailer brake controller I recommend for a 2015 Ram 2500 is the Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller part # 39510 which requires the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers part # 3024-P for installation. This is a proportional controller which applies the brakes on the trailer relative to the vehicle for the best even and smooth braking possible. It installs easily using the plug-in-play adapter.
In regards to bluetooth brake controllers, these are great for vehicles with no under-dash wiring but as this is not the case for this vehicle it is not the option I would pursue.
