Recommended Brake Controller for 2023 Ram 3500 w/ the Factory Tow Package

Question:

I am interested in the Curt Echo brake controller bc of the ability to control it from my phone but do not want to have to worry about it being stolen from the back of my truck. Does Curt or anyone have another brake controller that can be controlled by a phone? I have a 2023 Ram 3500 with the factory towing package.

Yes, there is another option to add a brake controller to your 2023 Ram 3500 and still use an app to control your settings. Since you have the factory tow package, I recommend the Curt Echo In-Line Wireless Brake Controller item # C79DR.

The Echo In-Line plugs in beneath your truck behind your 7-way. It attaches to the factory connectors and doesn't require any cutting or splicing. This will completely eliminate any need to hardware a controller.

The Echo In-Line is a proportional brake controller that slows or stops your trailer when your Ram decelerates. It uses Bluetooth to communicate with your phone so you will never have to worry about losing signal. If your phone dies it automatically uses the default settings you program in.

If you like the reassurance of a manual override button you will want the Manual Override Button for Curt Echo Brake Controller item # C83HR. You can mount it wherever you want it inside your vehicle.

I have linked a review video along with a couple of pictures that shows the Echo In-Line item # C79DR installed.
