Does Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes Require a Brake Controller
Question:
I just bought a tow dolly with electric brakes. I have a 2019 HR Prodigy with a 7 pin trailer plug. My question is, do I need a brake controller with it? If so, your recommendations on a controller. Thanks..

Expert Reply:
Yes you do need a brake controller to activate the brakes of your tow dolly that has electric brakes. I am not totally sure what vehicle you have but since we know you have a 7-way you can use the Curt Echo Mobile # C51180 which can be used on any vehicle with a 7-way. Once synced to a smart phone it's ready to tow with.
