Best 2012 Ford F-150 Brake Controller Options- Video

Speaker 1: Today, we're going to be taking a look at the best brake controllers available for the 2012 Ford F150.Now, all the brake 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 preprogrammed 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 a proportional controller, we don't have to worry about that. If we hit our brakes on our truck, are brakes are going to start being applied, and they're going to be applied in proportion to how we're braking in our truck, so when we hit the brakes hard, they're going to apply the brakes more heavily. If we hit the brakes lightly, it's going to sense that, and it's going to apply the brakes more lightly.Not only do we have the safer towing configuration with the proportional controller, but it takes some wear and tear off of our truck, and off of our trailer, because they're doing equal shares of the work in braking. One's not doing more than the other.Now, we've chose the four controllers we're going to talk about today. more
