Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2008 Toyota Tacoma- Video

Today in our 2008 Toyota Tacoma, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller, part number TK90160. Now, it is a proportional brake controller, which means it's going to automatically activate our trailer brakes with the same amount of pressure that our vehicle is slowing down. Since it is a proportional it's going to activate immediately and there's not going to be any pause like with time delayed brake controllers. It's going to feature three different boost settings if we push this button right here. We're going to have boost one, boost two and boost three. Each letting you adjust the initial braking power and aggressiveness. When we are at a stop light as well our brake controller's actually going to prevent the trailer brakes from overheating by reducing the power output to them during prolonged stops. It has this slider bar here, that's for the main override. more

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 1996 Fleetwood Southwind- Video

Today in our 1996 Fleetwood Southwind Motorhome, we'll be having a look at and installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller, part number 90195, in conjunction with the ETBC7 kit, to make our installation easier, part number ETBC7. This brake controller is proportional unit, which can control up to one to four axles of trailer brakes. This is an ideal solution for towing small trailers, all the way up to large trailers. Being a proportional brake controller, it'll give us the braking power relative to the braking power that's being applied in our motorhome, or our car that's doing the towing, so our trailer stops evenly and smoothly behind us. Now, this is equipped with three boost level settings, which gradually step-up the amount of power and initial force of the brakes being applied. So if we have a trailer that we've applied a bunch of weight to, when we pick up some supplies or added cargo to it, we find ourselves not being able to stop as quickly. We can press this button over here to the top right, and gradually increase the power. This brake controller is completely customizable. The bottom right here's or settings button, we press that. We can select our brake type, press okay. more

The proportional aspect of the controller allows it to do that. more

Now this is a proportional brake controller, which means that it's going to apply the same amount of pressure and force to our trailer brakes at the same time that we're applying our brakes to our vehicle. What's really nice about it being a proportional brake controller is that when we're not moving, and we're not slowing down, say if we're at a stoplight, it's not going to apply any brakes to our trailer, saving our brakes on our trailer from wearing out prematurely. It's only going to apply our brakes when the internal sensor inside of our brake controller senses that we're slowing down. Now if we come to our arrow buttons over here, this is going to be for our gain control and our max power. more

Now this is a proportional brake controller. What that means is, it's going to activate our trailer brakes based on how hard we're activating our brakes in our vehicle and since it's not a timed delay, there's not going to be any pause or delays. It's going to take the adjustment and send it to our trailer based on how fast or how slow we're coming to a stop. more
