Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller Review- Video

Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller Review

Hi there hollers there. Today we're going to be taking a look at Tekonsha's Primus IQ proportional trailer brake controller.This brake controller is going to be your entry level into a proportional brake controller and even though this is entry into proportional, I would recommend it over most of your time delay modules, just to how much smoother your breaking experience is going to be with a proportional controller, because proportional means that it uses an internal inertia sensor to detect the movement of the vehicle.So as we hit the brakes and go to a stop, that inertia sensor is going to detect that loss of motion and it's then going to use that information to apply a signal to the trailer brakes at the back, which will apply them. But it uses this information to help match the application of the brakes, to what you're doing here in the vehicle. So that way, when you hit the brakes, you're going to get a softer brake application at the trailer if you hit the brake softly in the vehicle. And then if you need an aggressive stop, like an emergency stop and you hit the brakes hard here in the vehicle, it's then going to detect that quick stop and it's going to put out a hard, aggressive brake to your trailer.With your time delays, you're just going to have whatever you have your setting to on your adjustment. And then a few seconds after applying the pedal, it will then apply to that exact amount that you've got it set to. more

As far as a brake controller that's in one package like this.

But with this base model here, if you've got just standard old electric brakes, like I've got on my trailers, then this is a great option because it is proportional, which means that the harder you are breaking the harder this is going to break your trailer behind you and vice versa if you're breaking softly, just kind of creeping up to a stop sign.

Hi there heavy haulers. Today we're going to be taking a look at Curt's Discovery Time Delay Brake Controller. The cool thing about time delay brake controllers is that you can put them pretty much wherever you want. They don't have to be in any specific orientation. They just need to be securely mounted to ensure it doesn't rattle around and eventually potentially cause damage to the internal components.That being said, if you're wanting a smoother braking experience with your trailer, I would recommend a proportional brake controller, as they work with an inertia sensor inside that works with your vehicle and the brake pedal. So as you stop in your vehicle, the inertia sensor detects how quickly you're stopping and will automatically apply the brake in your trailer proportionately, so that way it's going to have the same brake pressure as your vehicle. more

This is going to improve the quality of the ride when coming to a stop, because you're not going to feel that weight pushing on the back. And it's also just going to overall just feel safer when you're hauling. more
