Features to know about

Smooth Braking Control: Surge-Type Hydraulic Design

This surge-type actuator automatically matches your trailer’s braking with your tow vehicle’s deceleration. When the vehicle slows down, the actuator telescopes to apply pressure to the master cylinder, which activates the hydraulic drum brakes. The result is synchronized braking that feels steady and predictable every time you stop.

Confident Strength: 12,500 lb Capacity on a 3" Channel Tongue

Built for serious hauling, this actuator handles up to 12,500 lbs GTW and a maximum tongue weight of 1,250 lbs. It bolts over a standard 3"-wide channel tongue and has a channel width of about 3-1/2". The sturdy steel construction resists bending even in tight jackknife turns, so it keeps its shape and performance under load.

Simple Fit: Adjustable Channel with Three Mounting Positions

The adjustable-channel design makes setup straightforward. You can mount your coupler (sold separately) in one of three positions to get the height just right for your trailer. That flexibility means you can fine-tune your connection without adding spacers or reworking the tongue.

Smooth Operation: Unique Roller Telescoping Mechanism

Dexter’s roller design inside the actuator keeps the telescoping motion straight and reduces resistance as it slides. That smooth action helps deliver even braking pressure without binding or jerking, especially when weight shifts forward during hard stops.

Ready Protection: Integrated Breakaway Kit and Primed Finish

A breakaway kit comes built in to automatically apply the trailer brakes if it ever disconnects from the tow vehicle. The primed finish lets you paint it to match your trailer or add another layer of corrosion protection before use. This combination gives you both safety backup and a clean start for finishing work on your build.
