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.

Use this corrosion-resistant actuator to synchronize your trailer brakes with your tow-vehicle brakes. Over-center latch mechanism only engages when the actuator is fully seated on 2" hitch ball. Designed for hydraulic disc brake applications.by: Paul08/19/2022
The product came unboxed, missing instructions and no spare break away clips. I purchased a new actuator and got one that was laying around.
by: Edward 08/12/2022
The manual lockout device, supplied with the actuator, requires a second person to hold it in place when backing. It will not stay in place on its own.
by: Allen05/19/2022
Customer service was very helpful. Speedy shipping.
by: Devon08/27/2020
This product doesn’t fit over 3” tongue. Its the exact same size as a 3” tongue.Unusable. Had to remove the internal portion and modify my trailer tongue to fit. Arrived as the worst packaged item I’ve ever received. It was barely still in the box. Whom ever packaged this didn’t have a clue what they were doing.

Perfect fit. I had to notch one corner where my wiring came out of the box tubing. Really nice compared to the original that was on there

Review from a similar DX7.5L in Brake Actuator
I slipped this into my boat mate trailer for 2001 moomba. Took about an hour to hook up and bleed the system with a buddy. Works great! If you can use simple tools and are mechanically savvy this is a no brainer.

Review from a similar DX7.5L in Brake Actuator
Worked great, replaced an old Atwood, welded in where the old one was cut out. Minor modification to the brake line, easy to bleed master cylinder and then bleed brake system. Coupler is extremely easy to use.

Review from a similar DX7.5L in Brake Actuator
Paul is awesome!!
I was very pleased with the way he handled the order. I was going to order it online but he suggested that he could possibly have it delivered in 3-4 days. Actually it was delivered in 24 hours.
I thought [other retailers] were quick about deliveries till I ordered from etrailer.
The coupler and the brake actuator fit perfectly and definitely was a great replacement from the Atwood coupler.
Thanks. Paul.

Review from a similar DX7.5L in Brake Actuator
Received the brake actuator very fast, and it appears to be very well made. I have not as yet had time to weld it to the swing-away connection, but I don't think it will be a problem.

Review from a similar DX7.5L in Brake Actuator
I’m very satisfied. I always check out etrailer for all my trailer needs and this time was no different. In under 2 hours by myself I changed out the old with the new ( pictures) and ready to bleed the brakes. I always let people know to contact etrailer with there needs. Thanks

Review from a similar DX7.5L in Brake Actuator
I ordered late Tuesday evening. It shipped on Wednesday, arrived Friday and my boat trailer was fixed by Friday evening. Product was exactly as advertised and the perfect replacement for my damaged one. Quick and accurate shipping had me back out fishing by the weekend. Very impressed with etrailer service levels.

Amazing price for my favorite hitch, tongue actuator system made. I own 6 trailers and have had another dozen in the past. There is no better looking or functioning system .

Review from a similar DX7.5L in Brake Actuator
Exactly what I needed. Didn't require the outer housing, the insider mechanism slid in nicely as a replacement on my trailer. The etrailer videos for installation and bleeding were very helpful.

Review from a similar DX7.5L in Brake Actuator
I ordered this surge brake hitch without the back up solenoid. Due to supply chain problems it was going to take 3 months to ship. Upon receiving it far ahead of schedule it had the solenoid included at no extra charge meaning that someone at etrailer expedited my order and kept me happy at etrailers expense. How can you top that for service?

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Brake Actuator
- 2015 Ranger Boats z520c Replacement Coupler/ActuatorI don't know what the exact replacement you'd need for your Ranger trailer is but the Dexter DX7.7L part # DX89FR would work great for you either way so it would be the solution I would recommend. It has plenty of capacity, is a more reliable design than some options, is disc brake compatible and would install easy.
view full answer... - What Type of Brake Fluid to Use in Dexter Surge Actuator # DX89FRDOT5 brake fluid is what you'd want to use in the Dexter surge actuator part # DX89FR. If the breakaway pin was pulled it would be replaceable. The breakaway cable is replaceable.
view full answer... - Proper Replacement for Reliable ACT-7.5K Brake ActuatorAlthough we don't carry replacement parts for your Reliable brake actuator we do offer a good replacement, the Dexter # DX89FR would be an excellent replacement for your current actuator. You can see a product video for the # DX89FR hydraulic actuating brake coupler by using the provided link.
view full answer... - Replacement Actuator for Tie Down LP7000 Surge DiscI looked up your Tie Down LP7000 actuator and it's basically a 7,500 lb capacity surge brake actuator for disc brakes with a low profile like the part # DX89FR which would be a really great option.
view full answer... - Replacement Actuator for UFP A-60 34044The UFP 34044 is basically the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 part # DX89FR. The second number you mentioned is actually a phone number. But the # DX89FR would be an exact replacement for what you have.
view full answer... - Replacement Actuator for a Model ACT-7.5KWhile we do not carry replacement parts for the Model ACT-7.5K actuator, I can recommend a replacement actuator. It's the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout, part # DX89FR. It has a 2" ball coupler and designed for hydraulic disc brakes. The electric reverse lockout lets you back up without actuating the trailer brakes. It's low-profile and corrosion-resistant. I've linked to a video review of this actuator for you to look at.
view full answer... - Could Dexter Surge Actuator # DX89FR Replace Tie Down LP 7000The Dexter DX 7.5 actuator part # DX89FR that you referenced is a very similar design to the Tie Down LP 7000 that you referenced. This would be a great replacement solution that may not bolt up exactly the same but would still work great.
view full answer... - Replacement Surge Brake Actuator for Reliable ACT-7.5K Brake ActuatorI have a replacement for you but we do not carry the Reliable ACT-7.5K Brake Actuator. We have the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX89FR that will replace your surge brake actuator on your trailer. The specs match but the bolt holes may not line up so you likely will need to drill new holes.
view full answer... - How High Up are the Bolt Holes on the Dexter DX89FR Actuator?I had the bolt holes on the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX89FR measured and they are 5/8 of an inch from the bottom of the bracket to the center of the bolt holes.
view full answer... - Replacement For A Reliable ACT 7.5 KS Brake ActuatorAt this time we do not carry a compatible inner member for your Reliable ACT 7.5 KS actuator so I recommend replacing it with the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX89FR. This hydraulic actuator activates trailer's brakes when tow vehicle slows or stops and electric reverse lockout lets you back up without actuating trailer brakes.

- Can Dexter Brake Actuator # DX89FR be Used with Tandem Axle Disc BrakesThe Dexter brake actuator part # DX89FR that you referenced can be used with tandem axle disc brake trailers.
view full answer... - Tie Down LP7000 Brake Actuator ReplacementI do have an option for you but we don't offer any direct bolt-on swap options for the Tie Down Engineering LP7000 Actuator due to the age. That said, we do have plenty of great replacement options like the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator part # DX89FR but you'd have to drill a few new holes in the trailer. This actuator has a low profile design, is compatible with a 2" hitch ball, and is designed for disc brakes.
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Actuator for Tie Down Engineering LP7000In terms of capability the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout - Bolt On - Disc - 2" Ball - Zinc - 7.5K # DX89FR is a good replacement option. The problem is the design of your old TDE LP7000 which was installed inside the tongue of the trailer. The # DX89FR and others like it fit standard 3" wide trailer tongues. The actual inside dimension will be 3-1/8" to be able to go over the 3" tongue. With that 3-3/8" measurement you will not be able to fit a replacement actuator...
view full answer...
- How to Replace Tie Down Engineering LP7000 ActuatorI'm guessing it is approximately 3-3/8" across if you measured it. Unfortunately there are no options that will slide in because it won't line up correctly, and everything is designed to fit a 3" tongue so it is too wide to mount an actuator on top. Although it is not ideal, the only solution is to cut that off and replace the tongue with a standard 3" trailer tongue. Once you have a 3" wide trailer tongue you will be able to install an actuator like the # DX89FR you were looking at.

- Replacement Actuator for a TDE Model LP7000To replace your TDE Model LP7000 actuator, I recommend the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout item # DX89FR. This coupler is designed to mount on top of a standard 3" wide trailer tongue. It measures right at 3-3/8" wide so this will fit into your 3-1/2" tongue. I recommend using some washers to make up the slight gap you are going to have on either side. This actuator is designed for disc brakes, it has a 7,500 lbs capacity, and fits a 2" ball.
view full answer... - Options if You Need Replacement Parts For a Reliable ACT-7.5K Brake ActuatorThank you for the photos. From what I can find, you currently have a Reliable ACT-7.5K brake actuator. Unfortunately, we don't carry replacement parts for your Reliable brake actuator. The best option that we can provide would be to replace your current brake actuator with the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX89FR.

- Correct Replacement for UFP A-60 or A-75 Brake ActuatorThe Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator part # DX89FR for disc or part # DX33FR for drum will work to replace both a UFP A-60 or A-75 Brake Actuator so there will be no worried here. The A-60 is rated for 6K and the A-75 is rated for 7.5K. The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator is rated for 7.5K which is why there will be no issues.

view full answer... - What Alternate Brake Actuator Can I Substitute for My Dico Aero 6000 Brake Actuator?I have a solution for you that will work as a replacement. Unfortunately, we do not carry the correct replacement shock T4502000 for your Dico Aero 6000 actuator because it has been discontinued from production. I went ahead and reached out to Dexter axle (the makers of the Dico Aero 6000), and they said that, sadly, the only thing to do would be to replace the actuator itself. I know that this can be frustrating to hear, but the good news is that we do have some great options. For a replacement...
view full answer... - Replacement Disc Brake Actuator for A60 with Electric LockoutWe do have replacement hydraulic actuators for your UFP A60 boat trailer actuator: If the actuator mounts on top of the trailer frame use part # DX89FR, but if it mounts inside of the trailer frame use part # DX29FR instead. These disc brake actuators are bolt-on installations that are compatible with a 2" hitch ball and the electric lockout feature.
view full answer... - Availability of Inner Member of the Dexter DX 7.5L A-60 # DX89FRYes we do have the inner member available for the Dexter DX 7.5L A-60 # DX89FR that you mentioned with the # DX99FR.

It is a bolt-on model, that has a weight capacity of 7,500 pounds. It has the electric reverse lockout included which allows you to back up without actuating the trailer brakes.
