Arrives before Christmas 
Surge-type actuator bolts over 3" wide trailer tongue and includes standard, heavy-duty coupler with 3" drop. Electric reverse lockout lets you back up without activating the trailer brakes. Features corrosion-resistant plating.
Features:
Specs:
When you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, deceleration occurs and momentum pushes your trailer toward the rear of your vehicle. With surge brake systems, the actuator is triggered as your trailer moves forward while the tow vehicle slows. The actuator telescopes, applying force to its master cylinder, which in turn supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage the trailer's brakes.
Electric reverse lockout with solenoid is automatically activated when the tow vehicle is shifted into reverse. To use this feature, you must have a 5-pole flat, 6-way round or 7-pole wiring harness.
Look good for the price thanks
When I got the box,,, it looked like it went around the world a few times. The metal cover around the back up lock out is bent up, but still workable.
Bolted right up, works great.
Very good quality, and our customer has made no complaints.
I'm sure the product works fine, but it was too long for my available trailer mounting space. If etrailer would provide measurements along with their product information, it would have saved me the return fees and hassle. Also, packaging is terrible. It was thrown in a box with no packing, and arrived all dented up. Now I have to return it, hopefully without discussion on whose fault that is. Box arrived full of holes, and unit dinged and dented on the corners.
Etrailer is the BEST!!!
Actually I am a little disappointed. In hindsight I'm not sure I received the hitch I was supposed to get. I spoke with a rep before ordering and discussed the weight of my boat 6500# and I recently noticed that hitch is rated for 6000# lbs. What model was the original order for? Also the clasp on latch is very clunky/stick and covers part of the lock hole. I had to grind it down to get lock to slide through.
Perfect, just what I needed to replace my worn out old actuator
Customer service was great! I received my parts in two days with free shipping.
Great service, Easy to look up parts and the free shipping is awesome although a bit slow
This is a replacement for the same actuator that was 27 years old. This is a good value.
No grease fittings, the solenoid is not protected from the elements, the zinc plating will surely disintegrate within a year in saltwater.
Haven't towed with it yet. Loosely bolted to trailer frame. fit perfect. tin on back around solenoid was bent coming out of package but not huge deal. Won't know more until it gets some road use but so far so good.
Item could be packaged better, it did however arrive a day early. The only reason I did not give a five star review, the guard for the backup solenoid is very thin and was bent to the point of having to be removed to be straightened. I am not sure that it will be strong enough to protect the solenoid and brake line if stepped on.
