Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today, we're gonna take a look at this Tekonsha BRAKE-EVN proportional, trailer brake controller for one to four axles. Now, this brake controller activates your trailer brakes in proportion to your vehicle's braking action. It automatically adjust your trailer's braking based on the deceleration of your tow vehicle. And it activates immediately.
There's no pausing like with time delayed brake controllers. This controller will work with trailers up to four axles or eight brake assemblies. And it is designed for use with electric brakes only. Now, it automatically levels. The internal sensor detects deceleration even if the controller is not mounted level.
And it can be mounted at angles between -20 degrees and 70 degrees in the vertical plane. The boost setting is going to let you adjust the aggressiveness with which the brakes are activated. You can get full power output faster by pressing the plus button, as you see right here, to increase that activation speed, or achieve smoother braking by pressing the minus button that you see there to supply power gradually. This also has a built-in slide bar manual override. Now, this features an easy to read LED display to keep you informed of your trailer's braking.
The display is gonna show the gain setting when the control is activated. And it can also be used to check for connectivity with your trailer to determine your boost setting and to troubleshoot. It is short circuit protected. And let me pull out my ruler here just to give you an idea of its size. The overall width, we are sitting right at 2 3/4 inches wide.
And then the overall length, it's probably better to measure this way. I'm trying to measure the longest points of this brake controller. We're sitting pretty close to 4 1/4 inches long. Try it up here a little bit. Yeah, about 4 1/4 inches long. And then the thickness or the height, however you'd like to describe it, we are sitting right at an inch thick or an inch tall. Now, this is gonna be a quick and easy installation. The mounting bracket, as you can see here, and the hardware to attach the bracket to your controller and the bracket to your vehicle, that is all included. A plug-in vehicle specific brake controller adapter, which is sold separately, can be used for certain applications to reduce installation time. It is important to note that if a custom brake control wiring adapter is not available for your vehicle, one of the following will be required. And I have that on your screen there for you. A 20 amp circuit breaker for two to four brake applications, or a 30 amp circuit breaker for two to four, I'm sorry, for six to eight brake applications. And you see those item numbers for those circuit breakers on your screen. Also, I would like to mention that if you are in need of a seven-way plug at the back of your vehicle, check out etrailer.com's exclusive seven and four-way brake control installation kit. The item number for that is on the screen as well. Now, this does have a limited lifetime warranty. And that's gonna conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..

Almost two years later, this brake controller is a solid performer. Smooth stopping, works well on panic stops, and once properly adjusted it is maintenance free.

Tekonsha brake controller continues to work perfectly. Easily manually adjusts to breaking needs. Our son pulled a 20 foot enclosed trailer on a moving job with no problems at all. Breaking was smooth.tow vehicle 22 Tacoma SR5

Hey Pam. Some vehicles are equipped with a plug under the dash area. I looked into your vehicle and it looks like your specific vehicle does not have that feature. Since there isn't one available, you would need to get # ETBC7 to complete the install.

Sorry you didn't make the swap sooner Robert, but I am happy to hear that you feel such a difference with the proportional brake controller over those old time delayed ones! The time delayed ones were great when they were the only thing available, no more jerky stopping. What kind of camper do you have? Did you go on any fun adventures this year, or have any big ones planned for next year? I would love to hear about them =)
