Backing up a trailer can be tough when surge brakes want to grab and stop you. The manual reverse lockout on this actuator solves that by letting you deactivate the trailer brakes with a quick lever or the included lockout tool. Once engaged, it keeps hydraulic pressure from reaching the brakes so you can back up inclines, into tight spots, or around bends without drag. When you’re ready to move forward again, just release the lockout and the actuator goes back to normal braking.
This actuator synchronizes your trailer’s drum brakes with the tow vehicle’s brakes. As your vehicle slows, the surge of momentum pushes the actuator forward, applying hydraulic pressure through the master cylinder to activate the brakes. That smooth transfer of force gives you confident stopping without jerking or delay. It works with uni-servo and duo-servo drum brakes, so you don’t need free-backing assemblies for proper function.
Installing this setup doesn’t require special fabrication. It’s built to bolt right onto a 3" wide channel tongue with a simple 3" bolt pattern. With a 2" ball coupler and 7,500 lb capacity (750 lb maximum tongue weight), it’s a solid match for most standard drum-brake trailers. Titan recommends torquing the bolts to 80 ft-lbs for a secure fit that stays tight run after run.
A breakaway system comes built in to help protect your trailer if it ever separates while towing. The cable connects to your hitch so that if it pulls free, the breakaway lever activates the actuator’s master cylinder and applies full braking force. That automatic stop can keep your trailer under control and prevent damage in an emergency.

I want to thank you again for your assistance in getting me the correct parts for my trailer brake installation. I took three major road trips with the boat last year and the trailer brakes worked flawlessly. The major reasons I installed the braking system were: the overall weight of the boat and trailer in relationship to my pickup 2006 F150 and braking performancesafety on wetslick roads. Both of these concerns were tested last year with wonderful results. I have been telling my friends, with similar trailer packages, to investigate your product. Thanks again,
