Reese Pilot Brake Controller, Black (74378)

Its simple and easy to install and setup. It doesn't provide propotional breaking but for a simple brake controller it is the easiest to install (installs in any position) and easiest to use that myself and my buddies have found. It just requires power, ground, and one wire to break pedal switch, as well as a power output to your trailer brakes. If your rig is prewired - all you need is the adapter plug for your make and model of vehicle and you simply plug it in, mount it in place and your done. My particular vehicle was not prewired but installing and running the wiring, plugs and a circuit breaker (local auto parts store) and testing just took a couple of hours.After installation, you start your rig and trailer rolling and set the breaking level with the little thumb wheel (the display shows the output voltage to the trailer brakes) to just before the brakes on your trailer lock up and then back off slightly. You are then set and ready to go!We liked best-1.That you can install it any position2. It performs a continuous self check and if everything is working properly is shows a little "C" on the screen (for connected and working properly) When breaking it shows the breaking voltage applied to the trailer brakes. If you are not connected properly to the trailer it just shows a blank screen with a decimal point.3. It was easy to install, setup and use and will handle up to 3 axles and has worked flawlessly over the last several thousand miles of trailer driving. I have tested it on the plains, rolling hills and mountains and its really nice to find a product that I can highly recommend.For the money I would have to give it a best value rating. The next step up would be a controller with proportional breaking control which gets up into the high dollar units, starting around $150-Scott

Good quality priced right. Works perfectly. Installation was a breeze.

Got this in the mail the day before the 7 hour trip and it worked great I hauled a 35' travel trailer with a truck full of people the the bed full of gear. The setting I used was 5 and it worked amazing BUT YOU WILL NEED THE adapter I looked and looked to see if it would just plug and play and I was wrong but thank God the auto store near me had one in stoke let's just say they rhyme with o.shmilies once you have that you plug and mount where ever you want... I use it on my 2008 ram 2500 6.7l diesel. Make sure you have zip ties to hid the wire

This is the third one I have bought for as many vehicles. Works as it should. Easy to use and understand. It comes with a plug on the end of the wiring that plugs into I don't know what. You have to cut this off and wire it into your vehicle specific adapter plug. It seems a shame to cut this off, I wish it came with a adaptor that would plug into it and connect to your vehicle adapter so you wouldn't have to deface it right off the bat.

I installed on my Ranger to pull a camp trailer. Installing was straight forward. 1st trip out I was impressed with how well it stop the trailer. I like how it doesn't work unless there is a trailer hooked up, it tell you when it's connected with a "c" on the display. I'm happy with it.

I love using the Reese brand with my truck and this was easy to install affordable all around good product

This brake controller works very well. I've had it for over a year and it has worked flawlessly. The variable braking function works perfectly and allows you to set your braking force to exactly how much you want. The display is easy to see day or night and is just bright enough but does not interfere with night vision. It comes with a standard U-bracket and a unique variable ball mount which allows for mounting any way you want. Looks good on my dash and compliments my jeep interior (new model). This is a high quality unit that you can trust to work

Pretty much plug and play in my application. Had to get a harness to plug into my dash, but it was readily available. Works very well.
