Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2022 Toyota Tundra- Video
How's it going, neighbors This is Ed here with etrailer.com and we're taking a look at the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller on our 2022 Toyota Tundra. Adding a brake controller to your vehicle is gonna allow you to have additional safety and control of your trailer. And adding a wireless device like the Curt Echo is gonna allow you to have that control without having to manually wire anything into the system. The traditional box-style brake controller, you know, has the nickname knee-knocker 'cause they're usually mounted in that position where it would interfere with where your leg clearance is. Alternatively, we have some that are gonna be minimally invasive, like the REDARC where it's just a knob on your dash, but that installation does require a little bit more and it is permanent. So if you have multiple trailers or trucks or you have a leased truck where you can't make those permanent changes, the Curt Echo is gonna be a great option to allow you to have brakes on your trailer and control it using your Bluetooth device. more

And when it comes to brake controllers predominantly, you probably think of something that mounts up underneath the dash, and that you can hit your knees on, and in trucks, those work out fine, 'cause generally, the dash is a little bit higher.

Here we have our P3 installed and really it comes down to it has more bells and whistles than the P2, otherwise it's pretty much the same controller.

Hello, neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at installing the REDARC Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller on a 2023 Hyundai Palisade. Now, choosing a brake controller for your vehicle, when you plan on towing a trailer with brakes, normally you're probably used to ones that are pretty large and they mount up and you hit your knees on them every time you come in. And that's where the REDARC really changes the game. You have such a small switch that it keeps it pretty well OEM looking and you can really have the customization to mount wherever you want, but you get all the usability of a brake controller at the push of a button. Your manual override is a simple push of a button and as you adjust your gain, the colors will also change when you have your trailer hooked up, but that's how you adjust how intense the brakes are gonna be coming on. The rest of the brake controller is all hidden away, so the brains of the operation isn't visible, so you get all the usability with just that small little switch that you'll see. more

Hayes Energize III+ Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500- Video
Hi, Matt with etrailer. Today we're gonna be talking about the Hayes Energize III brake controller on the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

Hi, Matt with etrailer. Today, we're gonna be talking about the Hayes Synchronizer Trailer Brake Controller on the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

Now, today, we have a time delayed one, so that's not gonna be like our proportional brake controllers. How it differs is a proportional brake controller, when you press down on the brakes, if you press down hard, it's gonna press down hard on your trailer's, and if you press down light, it's gonna press down light on your trailer brakes. While this is gonna work a little bit differently, and it's not gonna provide you as smooth of a ride. more

Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2014 Ford Explorer- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at e-trailer and today we're taking a look at installing the Curt TriFlex Brake Controller on a 2014 Ford Explorer. Now, this is a traditional style braking controller, which basically means that you are gonna have a unit mounted up and this one's pretty thin with the bracket, it actually fits pretty well on our explorer here. They have it in a nice spot that's easily accessible for the driver, it doesn't get in the way of anything. And this is gonna be a great brake controller. It plugs in directly to the factory tow package with the adapter harness. And really, it's super easy to gain access to your manual override, it feels really good. more

Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller Installation - 2023 Toyota 4Runner- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look and installing the Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller on a 2023 Toyota 4Runner. Now this is what the REDARC looks like when it's installed and compared to a lot of your traditional brake controllers that you see mounted up on a dash that you inevitably hit your knees on, the REDARC really does a fantastic job of making it look like an OEM brake controller. As you can see, even with this factory knockout plate the button matches all of the controls here. It's hidden out of the way, but it's still super accessible and equally as usable as any other brake controller. Just like any other brake controller you can pick between two modes. You can have it to where it's user controlled or you can have it proportional to the braking pretty easy. more
