Will Pro Series Pilot 80550 Brake Controller Work in 2014 Dodge Ram Pickup

Question:

I have a pilot pro series 80550 brake controller. Will this controller work on a 2014 Dodge ram if I purchase the new harness?

Time-delay type brake controllers like the Pro Series Pilot 80550 will not work in your 2014 Dodge Ram. My contact at Pro Series confirmed that only a proportional-type brake controller can be used in your vehicle. For your reference I have linked an article that explains both types. Proportional controllers, among their other advantages, will help reduce wear on your Ram's brakes.

There is a quick-connect brake control harness for your Ram, part # 3023-P, and with this harness you can connect your choice of proportional brake controllers. Among the most reliable and highly-rated units is the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885. This unit offers the flexibility to be used with both electric and electric-over-hydraulic trailer brakes and can handle up to 4 axles (8 brake assemblies).
