Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller Installation - 2017 Ford F-150- Video

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look and installing the REDARC Tow-Pro Liberty, which is gonna be a great brake controller on a 2017 Ford F-150. If you plan on pulling a trailer with trailer brakes, you are gonna need a brake controller on your vehicle, and if you don't have a factory one, adding a brake controller is very easy to do. And traditionally, you probably know the ones that kind of mount here under the dash, and you've probably hit your knees on them before. Well, REDARC's done a really good job of making a very functional, proportional braking system, all in a small package that gives you a nice clean OEM look. Now using REDARC's custom wiring harness, we we're able to get this installed, plug and play, no splicing of wires, and it's super easy to do, and it may seem like it's small, and doesn't have a readout screen like some of your other brake controllers, but not to worry, this works great. In fact, you can adjust your gain just at the turn of a knob. more

Best 2017 Ford F-150 Brake Controller Options- Video

Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at best brake controllers available for the 2017 Ford F-150. Now, all the break controllers that we're going to look at today are proportional controllers. It's a newer technology available and it really is just a lot better than what the time delayed systems used to be.Basically with the time delayed system, it was pre-programed when your brakes would engage. So, you hit the brake in your vehicle, there might be a pause before the brakes on your trailer actually engage. With the proportional controller, we don't have to worry about that. If we hit our brakes on our truck, our brakes are going to start being applied, and they're going to be applied in proportion to how we're braking in our truck. more
