This is one of our favorite brake controllers, with flawless braking and a tiny dash knob that looks like it came straight from the factory. It's so easy to adjust your settings or activate manual override.

Adjusting the braking settings on the Tow-Pro Liberty is super simple. To get more power output - the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes - rotate the knob clockwise toward 10. To decrease the power output, rotate it counterclockwise toward 0.
When you apply the tow vehicle's brakes, the knob will change from blue to red to signal that the trailer brakes are being activated. The higher the braking power output, the deeper the red that you will see.
To engage manual override, simply press the control knob. This will activate the trailer's brakes and brake lights independent of your tow vehicle, great for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in an emergency.
When you are calibrating the brake controller for the first time, the LED lights will signal your progress.
You'll start by braking 20 times or so to let the unit learn its orientation and the direction of travel. You don't need to have a trailer connected for it to calibrate; the only difference is that the knob won't illuminate at all. If your trailer is connected, the LED light will flash green/blue as it calibrates. When the display turns solid blue, initial calibration is complete.
Once done, the unit will remain calibrated. If recalibration is required, it will happen automatically and without LED indication.
The Liberty has almost no mounting restrictions. It comes in 2 pieces: the main unit and the control knob. The main unit mounts out of sight and out of the way. You don't have to worry about dinging your knee on a bulky brake controller or interfering with your vehicle's airbags.
The control knob can be installed in any convenient spot that's easy for you to see and access. This can be a blank switch panel, an open spot on your center console, or wherever there's space on your dashboard. A universal mounting panel is included to ensure a clean, from-the-factory look. Custom-fit panels are available for certain vehicles as well. Before you do any drilling, be sure there's enough clearance behind the dash for the entire knob to install!
Once you've decided where you want to put the control knob, you'll need to find a good place to install the main unit. Your only restriction is the 3' cable connecting the main unit and the control knob. Securely mount the box using screws, double-sided tape, or zip-ties (not included). A mounting kit (RE67FR - sold separately) is also available for the Tow-Pro Liberty. Do not attach the module to wiring or cables that can shift as you drive!
Then plug the custom-fit harness right into your vehicle and the brake controller and you're done!
Note: 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 controller 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 Tow-Pro Liberty 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.

The Redarc looks great in your Jeep, Kent! What kind of trailer are you towing?

It has now been a year since I installed the brake control. I’m not a daily user, however every time I pull the trailer the controller works flawlessly and it’s convenient.

Overall the Redarc Liberty brake controller works well. Ive only had to stop hard once and Im happy to report I had no sway or misbehaving. I have managed to inadvertently brush the sensitivity control knob, decreasing the sensitivity. Just follow your departure checklist which includes checking the brake sensitivity and you will be fine. My only complaint is the illuminated dial. It just isnt bright enough, or the numbers arent bold or big enough, its hard to see what the sensitivity is set at without getting your face right up next to it. I would recommend this unit to a friend.

Outstanding! 5000 miles and has not. failed me once. I have found setting the controller just under halfway 4 works best for highway and around town. Bumping it to 5-6 is wonderful on mountain passes and keeps both the truck and trailer easy to control. Great product! If I had done just a little more research I would have discovered e-trailer even has a harness for my application and would not built my own. Highly recommend for a Tacoma!

That is super exciting about the mini-home! I wish you the best of luck with the overhaul - if you feel like sending in some pictures when you're done, we'd love to see them :)

The Redarc controller continue to impress me. This last year we went through NYS and the Adirondack Mountains where there are some long and serious downgrades and we also drove in a lot of stop & go traffic and I was always able to get the appropriate level of braking without locking the wheels. This is the best brake controller Ive ever used.

Great! The controller worked perfect and I was able to dial in the exact perfect resistance for the trailer brakes and everything towed very well. Unfortunately we sold our trailer but the brake controller still looks great in the car and I even got a compliment on how Stock or OEM it looked.

Works flawlessly. Had a minor installation issue. Research technical support was super in resolving the issue

It’s been a year and it’s still working well. I was surprised to have it not work after changing the battery but all I needed to do was let the module relearn the same as when it was initially installed. All back to normal.

After a year, still working good. We took the Pathfinder and the camper for a 450-mile round trip last weekend and it is still working as it should. The calibration takes a little longer sometimes when you go from trailer to trailer but Ive never had it not work eventually. It may be due to rust on our hitch or grounding on the car - still 100 satisfied.

Flawless operation after one season of towing. Expect the same this year.

This has been working perfectly for me. Only issue I had was where I mounted the switch it could get bumped by my knee getting out the car. I 3D printed a small piece to prevent that.
