Brake Controller Recommendation for Mercedes GL450
Question:
I have a Mercedes GL 450 with the tow package. I’m towing a 26 foot camper and would like to install a brake controller. I already have a wiring harness on both the camper and Mercedes. Which brake controller would you recommend? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
I have a great solution for a brake controller for your Mercedes GL 450 with the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite part # RED44FR. This is a proportional brake controller which senses how hard you apply the vehicle brakes and unlike other controllers only requires the install of a small knob on the dash and not a larger unit that some don't care for the look of or is easy to bang your leg on.
I attached a picture of the only thing you'd see on your dash or center console once installed and a review video for more info as well!
