How do you buy a brake controller? What do I need?
I bought one for my old chevy silverado for around $150. Traded that truck in and pulled the controller out, got a new wiring harness for my dodge, hooked it up and it works great. I don't need it hooked to the Evic because I am concentrating on driving not starring at that. I can go 60 and hit the brakes and the trailer slows at the rate the truck does. I also believe you get what you pay for. So if you spend $45 for one, the you get a cheaper controller. Its all on how much you want to spend.
Just to throw out another mounting idea for those looking at the tekonsha p3, this is how I did mine. Looks good when finished also.
