Specs:
Note: Because this actuator does not include a reverse lockout, it is recommended that you equip your trailer with free-backing brakes so that you can drive in reverse without the actuator triggering your trailer's brakes.
When you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, deceleration occurs and momentum pushes your trailer toward the rear of your vehicle. With surge brake systems, the hydraulic actuator is triggered as your trailer moves forward, once your tow vehicle starts to slow down. When this happens, the actuator contracts, applying force to its master cylinder. This in turn supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage your trailer's brakes.
The coupler portion of this trailer brake actuator features a simple-to-use latching mechanism known as the eZ-Latch. With this mechanism, hooking up is as easy as dropping the coupler over your trailer hitch ball. The latch does not need to be tugged or manually activated to allow the ball into the coupler socket, nor does it have to be secured in place. Just make sure that the coupler is properly lined up with the ball when you lower it, and the rest is automatic.
Sturdy, Corrosion-Resistant Construction
Made of sturdy steel, this hydraulic trailer brake actuator features a durable zinc coating that is designed to limit rust and corrosion. This zinc coat has a 200-hour salt spray rating. In addition, the composite master cylinder is made of corrosion-resistant glass-reinforced nylon to further ensure durability.

Found it was best to use a skid steer to bleed the system, move the tongue in. Then have a chain to back out. 2 person job.
Overall good product. Brakes work great! Plan on making a cover for the reservoir tank.
Nice coupler, however packaging is very insufficient and has been dropped where brake line threads, threads were damaged in the master cylinder and the brass adapter to the hose is bent. The packaging only has a couple pieces of shipping paper in it, not near enough to prevent shipping damage
Ordering was simple, delivered very quickly. Great job, guys.
This was an exact replacement for my 25 year old hitch! So glad they have so many choices, very helpful and a perfect fit
I live on a farm where it seems we're always fixing trailers or building trailers for use. I have bought several hitches from etrailer and they have ALWAYS been helpful. Great selection to choose from also. Recommend them highly.
Bolted in place of the old one with minor drilling. Easy to bleed the system and works great.
Excellent product and it’s working great !!!!

Fine - I don’t use the brakes - just the tongue as that is the same model that was on there before
