Best Brake Controller Recommendation for Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brakes
Question:
What is best controller for EOH for heavy loaded trailers
asked by: Capt J
Helpful Expert Reply:
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller part # 90195 for basically every towing situation but especially for an electric over hydraulic setup like what you have. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. This will be the last brake controller you buy. It can easily be transferred to future vehicles as well.
Not every controller works with EOH brakes but this one was designed specifically to operate that style of brakes as long as you put it in hydraulic mode. Some controllers will work inconsistently with hydraulic brakes whereas this one will work very well.
I attached a review video for this controller for you to check out as well.
