Use this corrosion-resistant actuator to synchronize your trailer brakes with your tow-vehicle brakes. Drop-N-Go auto-latch coupler automatically locks your coupler in place on 2" hitch balls. Designed for hydraulic disc brake applications.
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.

Use this corrosion-resistant actuator to synchronize your trailer brakes with your tow-vehicle brakes. Drop-N-Go auto-latch coupler automatically locks your coupler in place on 2" hitch balls. Designed for hydraulic disc brake applications.I dove into this job of replacing my entire rusted out disc brake system on my double axle boat trailer having never done it before. Between the variety of part choices and accurate descriptions coupled with excellent phone service and on site videos, I was able to rebuild my trailer brakes system and suspension in total. I compared prices with the trailer manufacturer and found that etrailer either beat the price or matched it but I chose to give my business to etrailer because of the service! I do recommend this company and will use etrailer.com again anytime!
I installed this as part of a disk brake retrofit to a tandem axle boat trailer that didn’t come with brakes. It was an easy swap from my factory coupler and connected fine to the flexible brake line kit. How to bleed the brakes wasn’t obvious from the instructions and YouTube videos are mostly out of date, but all it took was a long handled flat screwdriver to action the pump and apply pressure. The drop and go system is easy to use. I wish this model had a manual reverse solenoid lockout but the electric lockout has been working fine.
Anna was great at helping me confirm what I needed to order. I installed the Kodiak 10” disc brake kit, new lines and Dexter actuator with no trouble. I got rid of my rusty drum brakes that were a hassle to clean and maintain in salt water. Shipping was fast and my order was complete. I’d definitely recommend etrailer.com to friends!!
I changed the brakes on my 1995 boat trailer from drum to disc. I was able to figure out what to order on the etrailer web site. The whole project was relatively easy. I just had to remove the old parts and bolt on the new ones. The new trailer hitch actuator is much easier to used than my old one.
Your service was excellent and your price was very good.
BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SHIPPING i HAVE EVER DELT WITH! EVERYONE THERE IS FANTASTIC!!! PARTS ARE GREAT TOO, NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH ANY!!! A+++++++++++++++
The hitch is great. Disc brakes vs the drums I had before make noticeably more stopping power. My one regret is that while there is a backing lockout of the surge brake via a solenoid valve, for high mountain trailering, the surge brake stays applied when you’re descending in low gear. I smoked my brakes coming down from 5,500 ft last week, expelling a decent amount of high temp red bearing grease. I guess if steep mountain roads are the norm, maybe an electric brake overhaul would have been better.
Amy was a great help got me what I needed right away and was shipped and received quickly thanks so much
Good service as well as fast shipping. Will be repeat customer.
Excellent product with good installation instructions
Excellent customer service. Great experience. I will definitely use them in the future.
Works great! I wish I would have talked to a representative first. Bolt pattern didn’t match up with the old actuator, so I had to drill new holes. With my neighbors help got ur done in a couple hours. My fault. Thanks to etrailer for quick delivery as I needed to pull my boat out of the slip I was renting.
I have been ordering from etrailer.com for years and have not been disappointed. Their prices are great, they communicate the order status very well, and ship the products quickly.
I have been having ongoing issues with my trailer brake pressure not relieving, thus applying the brakes continuously. This order was for a new actuator which I believe will correct the problem. I just installed the actuator and it fit as expected.
Actuator is quality product. I was replacing a Tie Down 70E actuator that was 10 years old ( master cylinder and backup solenoid failed due to rust sediment buildup ?)
Be aware that the actuator does not come with mounting hardware so save yours from old unit
, also does not come with instructions-download from web.
The only noticeable difference between the newer and the old unit was the backup sensitivity.
The old unit needed the solenoid energized with just the trailer -the new unit didn’t need the solenoid energized with trailer and boat unless you were going up an incline(even with adjustment of the bolts joining the two pieces)
Overall very satisfied-as a side note both Tie Down and Titan were bought by Dexter Axle
Fast ship and great product.
Works well but the younger bounces a bi t.
Great selection of products with detailed product descriptions and very fast delivery. The information on the site was very helpful in identifying the replacement brake actuator that I needed for my 17 year old trailer. Installed in 20 minutes!
I have not installed this yet but everything appears to be good.
Easy install works well.
Well made and easy to install

Bailey was a great help and got me exactly what I needed!!
