Brake Controllers?

[michaelRitz]

What for brake controller would you guys recommend for my '05 '610' 6 spd. (NV5600)? Towing anything for car trailer to livestock trailer.

Many of us are of the opinion that the BrakeSmart is the best there is. Everyone agrees it's also the most expensive at $350.

Yep like ken said. Brakesmart If you tow alot it's worth every penny.

The only problem with Brakesmart is that you have to order one atleast 2 months before you really neede it. They are not a high production company. I'm going to have to buy brand "P" until mine gets here, then sell the other one.

I like my Impulse Digital, Simple and rather cheap.

My Brakesmart took less than 3 weeks from order to delivery.

I have the Prodigy and it has been a great brake controller. I don't have any other brake controller to put it up against since this is my first one. Hear great things about Brakesmart... But if money is an issue you can't beat a Prodigy.

I would go with a true proportional controller versus one of the inertial or ramped time base designs. Of these, the Brakesmart is probably the most capable, although pricey and sometimes hard to get. The Jordan Ultima 2020 is a functional close second to the Brakesmart and can be found on the Internet for <$100.



I wouldn't even bother with anything else. And, yes, I've run with inertial and ramped time base controllers.

I would replace the word "prodigy" with "sentinel". Just a cheaper version of the same controller. Doesn't have the digital readout, but still a quality product made by Tekonsha. I had mine in two trucks and with a running total of about 190K it's never let me down. The trailer brakes... well that's a different story. Next trailer WILL NOT have anything electrical at the axles. Electric over hydraulic all the way!!!

Tekonsha Prodigy is what I have, and I don't care who's is better, this one works fine.

My Sentinel works fine on all three of my trailers, and any of the other three that I may grab onto



I had the Prodigy in my '99 2 wheel drive dually, and I can't say I really had any complaints with it either!
