Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2018 Ford F-150- Video

Speaker 1: We're going to take a look at and show you how to install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 proportional trailer brake controller. This works for one up to four axles. Its part number is 90195. We're also going to be using the Tekonsha brake controller adapter pigtail, part number 22292.Now the big advantage we get with the P3 over other brake controllers especially the time delayed brake controllers. With it being proportional, it senses the negative acceleration of our truck or the deceleration and it brakes accordingly. So if we really jam on the brakes hard, it's going to give us braking power back to our trailer brakes very quickly. more

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2016 Ford Transit T350- Video

Speaker 1: Today, in our 2016 Ford Transit 350, we'll be having a look at and showing you how to install the Curt Triflex trailer brake controller, part number C51140. To ease our installation, we'll also be using the Curt Trailer Brake Controller Wiring Adapter, part number C51515 with the E-trailer ETBC7 kit.Now, this is a proportional brake controller, and what that means is that as we're slowing down gradually in our vehicle, the brakes on our trailer will be applied in an equaled manner. As opposed to a time delayed brake controller, where there is a time delay of the brakes being applied, and you can't have a little bit of power being applied. It's either all or nothing, depending on how you have it set. These will gradually start to apply the brakes, so you have a smooth and safe stop.One thing that sets this brake controller apart from others on the market is how easy it is to operate. It does everything that you need it to do, but yet, it has very simple and easy to use controls, so it doesn't confuse you. more

This is what a charge line kit looks like installed. Now the reason you may want one of these on your vehicle is, if you're using a portable braking system when you're flat towing your vehicle behind your motorhome, your portable braking system requires a source of power. Sometimes you can just plug into your cigarette lighter or your power outlet on your dash, but every time the pedal is depressed in the vehicle your battery is getting lower and lower and lower on charge.Without this in place, you won't have a way of your battery being recharged with your engine off in the vehicle when it's towed behind the motorhome. With this in place, this uses the constant 12-volt charge line off the seven way 00:00:58 on the back of the motorhome to run power into the circuit breaker here, through this line here, and then out this line back to your battery post on the positive side. Now, the connection is made on the front of our vehicle through our six pole round connector.Now that we've gone over some features of our Roadmaster charge line kit, we'll show you how to get it installed. more

This is a great alternative if your truck doesn't already come equipped with the factory prep package because not only is it going to allow you to tow with a fifth wheel hitch, but it's also going to keep your bed nice and clean and give it that factory look. more
