Speaker 1: Today in our 2017 Ram 1500 we'll be having a look at and installing the Hopkins agility trailer brake controller, part number HM47294. To ease our installation we'll be using the Hopkins plugin simple custom wiring adapter for trailer brake controller, part number HM53056.Here's what our brake controller looks like installed. We've already hooked up to our trailer and we get a nice little red indicator light right here to show that we have a proper connection and everything's functioning properly. The reason you're going to want a brake controller is if you have electric brakes on your trailer. You need to have a way to operate them and this brake controller here gives you that ability at a very cost effective price.What sets this brake controller apart from others on the market is that this is a proportional brake controller which activates immediately and gives you smooth and equal stops as opposed to time delay controllers, which there is no even braking. It's either on or off depending on how much power you have set to your brakes through the controller. more
