Why Dont All Brake Controller Fit the 2016 Ram 1500

Helpful Expert Reply:

The newer Ram trucks use a different brake signal on the brake pedal that isn't powerful enough for the older style brake controllers to work with. Basically the brake controller will never know that the truck's brakes are getting applied to start applying the trailer brakes.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup...and it will work well with the brake signal of your truck. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.

All you need to install the controller is the correct harness part # 3024-P.
