Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller VS Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller
Question:
How does the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller compare to the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller performance, durability and reliability?
asked by: Kate
Expert Reply:
Both of these are reliable brake controllers. Personally I like the freedom that the Curt Echo # C51180 gives you. You can use it on any vehicle with a properly wired 7-way and trailers with up to 2 braking axles. There is no wiring and it can be controlled from virtually any smart phone.
With the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller # 3430001 it is wired into the trailer and would have to be completely rewired to use on a different trailer. And I really don't want to have to rely on having to keep track of another key fob as I can see it being easily lost or dropped and forgotten about since it is only needed when using the trailer.
