Today well be reviewing part number T2478100. This is the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator with a drop built-in here at our coupler. It is designed to fit 2-5/16-inch hitch balls and it's designed to work with hydraulic drum brakes. The hydraulic actuator is going to synchronize the trailer brakes with the tow vehicle brakes. When you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, deceleration occurs and it's actually going to push the momentum of the trailer toward the rear of your vehicle. With the surge braking system, the actuators is then triggered as your trailer moves forward while the tow vehicle slows. Inside of here, we have an actuator that actually telescopes, applying force to the master cylinder, which is located here at the rear, which in turn supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage the brakes that you have on your trailer. Now because this model does not include a reverse lockout, it is recommended that you equip your trailer with free-backing brakes so that you can drive in reverse without triggering your trailer's brakes. This system features a nice and unique roller design that's going to reduce resistance during telescoping. You have a lot of moving parts in there, so these rollers just help ease that movement. more
