Best 2014 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty Brake Controller Options- Video

Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the best brake controllers available for the 2014 Ford F250, 350, and 450, and the F350, 450, and 550 cab and chassis models.All of the brake controllers that we're going to look at today are proportional controllers. It's a newer technology available, and it really is just a lot better than what the time delayed systems used to be. Basically with the time delayed system, it was pre-programmed when your brakes would engage. You'd hit the brake in your vehicle, there might be a pause before the brakes on your trailer actually engage.With the proportional controller, we don't have to worry about that. If we hit our brakes on our truck, our brakes are going to start being applied, and they're going to be applied in proportion to how we're braking in our truck. When we hit the brakes hard, they're going to apply the brakes more heavily. more
