This compact brake controller fits nicely in your cab. It's designed to mount flush to the dash and is only 1" thick. The controls are simple, the LED display is large and bright, and the manual override is easy to reach in a pinch.

Gain is the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes. How much braking output you need is determined by the weight of your trailer; a heavier trailer will need more power to bring it to a stop. You want to go as high as you can without the trailer brakes locking up. Use the gray rocker switch to adjust the gain on a scale of 0.5 to 9.9 in increments of 0.5.
Once you have the gain set, you can fine-tune your braking by adjusting the load control on a scale of 1 to 9 using the black rocker switch. This controls the aggressiveness of your trailer's braking, meaning how quickly the brakes reach the maximum braking level. If your vehicle takes too long to come to a stop, increase the setting. If it stops too abruptly, decrease the setting.
The LED display on the TriFlex is large and easy to read at a glance. You can adjust the brightness or trigger night mode so it won't glare obnoxiously on your dash. It also will give you error messages you can use to troubleshoot.
The TriFlex offers key safety features to prevent damage to various components of your towing setup. This starts with built-in protection against shorts and positive and negative power reversal, as well as continous diagnostic checks to alert you to any potential problems as they come up. To minimize the drain on your vehicle's battery, the TriFlex will automatically go into sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. Sleep mode will turn off again the moment you press the brake pedal.
Automatic leveling means your mounting options are limitless, so long as you can still easily access the controller and the manual override. The included bracket is designed to mount the brake controller flush to the dash so it takes up almost no space at all.
If your vehicle already has a plug-in brake controller wiring harness, just connect the unit to it. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a vehicle-specific wiring harness (sold separately) to plug into. If a harness is unavailable for your vehicle, hardwiring will be necessary.
Note: If a custom brake control wiring adapter is not available for your vehicle, one of the following will be required:
If you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle, take a look at our exclusive 7- and 4-way brake control installation kit (ETBC7 - sold separately).
Proportional braking means that your trailer brakes mimic your tow vehicle's brakes. If you slam on the brakes in your vehicle, your trailer brakes will activate with the same intensity; if you brake lightly, your trailer brakes lightly too. The trailer's braking is in proportion to your vehicle's braking. This saves wear and tear on the tires and the brakes on both your vehicle and trailer.
The TriFlex uses an internal 3-axis accelerometer to sense how your vehicle is braking so it can send the right amount of braking power to your trailer. It measures the inertia of your tow vehicle and activates the trailer's brakes to slow at the same rate. The result is uniform braking across your towing setup. No push-pull action - just smooth, proportional braking every time.

Hi everyone. Steve here with etrailer. Today we're taking a look at the CURT TriFlex NEXT trailer brake controllers for one to four axles. Now these are proportional braking controllers, and this is a package of six. So again, quantity six. So most likely if you're on this page, you're probably a dealer or something of that nature.
So again, you're gonna get quantity six of the CURT TriFlex NEXT. And as you can see, you got your manual override button right there on the side. And then, of course, it is wired with a plug factory right out of the box. And then of course you're gonna get a package of six of the cable ties and the installation instructions and the cards about the products themselves and those kind of thing. Now these are gonna be a pretty fast, quick, clean installation as they mount flush.
They're about just one inch thick, and they're gonna fit nice and neatly right below the dash. And these will give you reliable power at any grade. So they have what's called a three-axis accelerometer in here. It's gonna adjust breaking uphill or downhill just the same without no issues. And again, with this automatic leveling and rocker switches, you're gonna simply tune that gain and load with ease.
And that's right up here on the front here with the buttons. Again, little rocker switches. So very easy to use. Again, if you're a dealer, obviously you're probably watching this. This is a great option to get six of these at a better price than just one.
And as well, they do display in a nice bright LED display to show those settings, error codes, and the trailer statuses. And as always, if you have any questions about this or any product, reach out to us here at etrailer. We're more than happy to assist you. I'm Steven. Thanks so much for watching, and have a great day.
