Review of Curt Trailer Brake Controller - Manual Overide Button - C83HR Video

The Curt Echo Under-Dash Trailer Brake Controller part #C27JR as with most any electric trailer brake controller will draw a very small amount of power even when the vehicle is off so it can save all your settings. That said, the power draw is…

You can use the Android Auto Navigation and the Curt Echo Brake Controller #C51180 will still run in the background at the last settings you had it on. However, you are correct that when using the navigation, for the manual override you will need…

The vehicle is indeed pre-wired, as you suspected. To get completely set up, you'll need a brake controller, the appropriate wiring harness to connect the controller to the vehicle and a trailer connector for the rear of the vehicle. All the…

You will want to be extra careful because just adding a transmission cooler and higher capacity trailer hitch will likely not get your Buick Enclave to the 4500 pound capacity. That much discrepancy in the tow package capacities suggests to me a…

Yes, there is another option to add a brake controller to your Sierra. Since you have the factory tow package, I recommend the Curt Echo In-Line Wireless Brake Controller item #C79DR. The controller plugs in behind your 7-way with included…

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…

For your 2023 GMC Sierra 1500, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 item #AL57388 over the item #AL88388. Both of these systems are confirmed to fit the AT4 4WD models. They each have a 5,000 lbs capacity that will both support your rear end and…

The Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller #C51180 won't itself provide any charge to your trailer mounted battery, but you certainly can still have a 12V power wire ran from the 7-Way to the battery for this purpose with the Echo in place. The Echo…

The Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller #C51180 is not compatible with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. There is a Manual Override Button #C83HR that is wireless and operates with a CR2016 battery. The nice thing about the Curt Echo is once you…

Generally speaking, it is not advisable to reverse a trailer when using a weight distribution system. The system won't blow up but if you reverse at too sharp an angle then you can damage the head so you have to do so in a pretty straight line or…

I recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution #FA92-00-1000 for your trailer with the 2 UTV's. This system is also rated for a trailer up to 10,000lbs but has a much wider spread tongue weight capacity of 600-1,000lbs. The Curt #C69JR you…
