Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2020 Chevrolet Colorado- Video

Ryan: How's it going Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today on our 2020 Chevrolet Colorado, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Curt Spectrum Trailer Brake Controller. The main thing that really separates this brake controller from many of the traditional style brake controllers like this is a couple of things. One, it's going to be really small and two, you're going to be able to pretty much mount this anywhere that you want and on a lot of today's newer modern vehicles, that dash space is really limited and can be really challenging to find a good spot to mount a brake controller like this that's out of the way, but yet still easy to use.There are other brake controllers that are similar in the design of this one and most of our customers specifically compare this one to the Redarc. I personally like this one a little bit better than the Redarc and that's because behind our knob here, there's going to be nothing behind it as compared to the Redarc, behind the knob, there's going to be a connector that comes out quite a ways. So, you're still somewhat limited on where you can mount that Redarc because you're going to have to have room behind the panel for that connector to fit. more

Now obviously you can see we've got a work van here, so we have a lot of gear in the back, which adds to the weight of our van. But then once we add our trailer on the back, that's even more weight. So now when we're going down the highway or driving down the road, all that weight from the trailer is pushing forward that's where our brake controller is going to help.

Today you're going to be taking a look at, I'm going to walk you through the installation on the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller on your 2019 Chevrolet Equinox with the Factory Tow Package.Most of the time when we think about a brake controller, it's on a larger vehicle, or on a big truck that may be pulling big trailers. On a smaller SUV like this, maybe you have a boat trailer that has brakes on it, or maybe you have a camper, a small camper that has brakes on it. Maybe you're going on a camping trip and you want to make more room for your passengers inside, so you want to put all your gear into a trailer and that trailer has brakes on it.You've pulled each of these things and without a brake controller you have felt the trailer as you're coming up to a stop pushing on the car. It's an uncomfortable feeling when you're coming up to the back of another car that's already stopped and it doesn't feel like your car is stopping. Adding a brake controller to the vehicle is not only going to make your driving experience much better, but it's going to make your passengers much more comfortable during the ride.The trailer brake controller is going to be a proportional brake controller, so when you apply the brakes in the vehicle it's going to apply the same amount of pressure in the trailer depending on how you have it set, whether that applies the brakes a little bit sooner or a little bit later. more

This brakes in relation to the force that you're actually exerting on your pedal.

Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2007 Chevrolet Silverado New Body 331-E- Video

Presenter: Today on our 2007 Chevrolet Silverado, we're going to be taking a look at, and showing you how to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite proportional trailer brake controller, for one to three axles. This is going to be part number 331-EBRH-ACCV2.To help us in our installation, we going to be using the universal mounting panel for Redarc Two-Pro brake controller remote head. That's gonna be part number 331-TPSI-001.So, here's what our Tow-Pro Elite brake controller looks like, once we have it installed. It's going to be an extremely compact unit, and all we're going to see is the knob, with the LED light right here.This is going to be a great solution to the traditional style brake controller, which typically do take up a decent amount of space, and they do get cumbersome, or they may interfere with your legs, while you're driving.You'll notice that we have a blue LED indicator light that's on right by our knob, and that's going to let us know that our trailer is connected. But, when we don't have a trailer connected, there's not going to be a light on at all.Like most brake controllers on the market, we're going to have a nub, that's going to adjust the power that we're sending to our trailer brakes. It's going to go all the way from zero, and if we turn the knob, we can go all the way up to 10, 10 being the maximum power.For those situations where our trailer starts to sway, or potentially jackknife, or where we need to slow it down, but we don't want to slow our vehicle down, we can push on the knob itself, which will act as a manual override, and apply the trailer brakes.As you can see, with it being in 10, we're going to have a dark red light coming on, which is letting us know that it's at maximum power. more

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2010 Chevrolet Express Van- Video

Speaker 1: Today in this 2010 Chevrolet Express Van we will be having a look at, and showing you how to install the Tekonsha Primus IQ trailer brake controller part number TK90160.To ease your install we'll be using universal seven way trailer brake controller kit, part number ETBC7.Here's what our brake controller looks like installed. Now what's great about this brake controller, is that this is a proportional brake controller, which allows us to slow down smoothly, and safely when we're towing a trailer, and our brakes are being applied instantly versus with a timed delay brake controller, it's also not gonna give you a jerky ride like a time delayed brake controller would.Now the reason you're gonna want a brake controller such as this one is if you're towing a trailer that has electric brakes, you won't be able to control them without having a brake controller.Now what sets this brake controller apart from other proportional units on the market is not only is this a very high quality unit, but it's also a very simple one to use without a lot of overly complex features. This gives you the basic functions that you need in order to safely, and easily utilize trailer brakes.To our right we have our manual override, and what this does, this will apply our trailer brakes to the maximum level that we have set the further we press it in.The reason you want a manual override is because if your trailer starts to sway behind you, or starts to jackknife, you would want to slow the trailer down, not your vehicle, that'll make things worse. So by applying this, only the brakes on the trailer will be applied without you applying your vehicle's brakes.Over here to the left this is our gain adjustment knob. This knob here controls how much power is being sent to your trailer brakes. Right now if it's set all the way up you see our display reads at 11, and we start to roll it back it'll start to drop back down all the way down to zero, which means no trailer brakes being applied.General rule of thumb, you want to start it somewhere in the middle, so about five and a half will be ideal. more

Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 2016 Chevrolet Express Van- Video

Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Chevrolet Express we're gonna be installing the Tekonsha Primus trailer brake controller, part number TK90160. The Primus is gonna provide all of your necessary features for your entry level brake controller system. This is gonna more stripped down compared to some of your other models, it's only gonna have your primary functions that's necessary. It's got a digital display versus other models that may have an LCD however this one will still be able to provide you with diagnostic features as well as displaying voltage to your trailer during braking.It provides a proportional braking system so the harder you brake the harder your trailer brakes will brake. This also works with the momentum of the vehicle so as it detects more momentum it does apply harder brakes in the back to stop your trailer at the same rate as your vehicle. There's no level adjustment required unlike some other models that may require you to drive the vehicle and set your level adjustment before the proportional braking will work properly. more
