We can mount it in any direction under the dash, and so long as the cable will reach the knob, we can mount the knob just about anywhere in our vehicle.Here's what our brake controller looks like once we have it installed. This is going to be a lot smaller and more compact than most brake controllers because all we're going to have is this small dial with a light on it rather than having a huge box that we're stuck mounting underneath our dash somewhere where we could potentially hit our knees. Our brake controller is going to be a proportional one. more

It'll work great for either one. Also, if you're using an electric over-hydrolic setup on say a boat trailer or a fifth-wheel trailer, this one can still control those.The reason you're gonna want a brake controller for your vehicle is if you're planning on towing a trailer that has electric brakes, you need to have a way to operate them and this brake controller will do just that. more

Going down the highway, you may want a little more brakes, but as soon as you get off the highway, the brakes may tend to lock up. So you're stuck with choosing a setting that'll be kind of good for both, but it's really not what you need. more

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

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2014 Ford F-150 39523

Today on our 2014 Ford F150 we're going to take a look at and show you how to install the Tekonsha PowerTrac. This is a time delayed electronic brake controller that will work for one or two axles. Part number is 39523. We're also going to be using the Tekonsha brake controller pigtail adapter, part number 22292. The PowerTrac offers a great solution for getting braking power out of our vehicle and back to our trailer to where our brake assemblies can use it. The PowerTrac is a time delayed brake controller so unlike on that requires inertia to operate the system in here as soon as we step on our brakes it's going to send braking power back to our trailer, which will slowly ramp up to the maximum that we have set here. The maximum is fully adjustable. If we rotate the dial away from us that's going to decrease our braking power. more
