Will a Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller Work with Drum Brakes?

Question:

The video said it works on tow vehicles with electric and hydrolic brakes, but my trailer has drum brakes my tire guys told me. I have a 2013 xlr hyper lite toyhauler with 2 axles. I Need a brake controller and also an emergency disconnect box for the drum brakes I have.

The Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller item # C51180 is a proportional brake controller that will work perfectly with the drum brakes on your 2013 XLR Hyperlight Toyhauler. Drum brakes can be electric or hydraulic and the Curt Echo is compatible with both.

I recommend the Curt Breakaway Kit with Built-In Battery Charger item # C52042. This breakaway system activates your trailer's electric brakes if the trailer disconnects from the tow vehicle and comes with a built in charger. I have attached review videos for both.
