Adjustable, Easy to Read OLED Display

The high-quality OLED display on this brake controller makes the screen easy to read at a glance. The text is large and you can tilt the screen to the angle that makes it easy for you to see. Instead of displaying codes that you have to look up, this display shows full-text descriptions of errors so you can quickly address any problems that come up.

Built-In Controls for Adjustable Power

Braking Output: Braking output 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. Use the + and - buttons to set the output. You want to set the braking output as high as you can without locking up the brakes. Once you've set up the brake controller the first time, you shouldn't need to adjust this setting unless the trailer load changes, you switch trailers, or road conditions change. The OLED display will show the current output setting being used.

Sensitivity: Once you have the output set, you can fine-tune the power by adjusting the sensitivity of the internal sensor. This controls the aggressiveness of your trailer's braking, meaning how quickly the brakes reach the set output level. You can adjust this when you're towing heavy loads and you need more umph to bring your trailer to a stop. Your tow vehicle doesn't need that much power to brake in time, but your heavy trailer does. The sensitivity setting gets the braking power to your trailer brakes faster and with more intensity so that it doesn't push your tow vehicle forward.

There are 9 sensitivity levels (boost levels), with 1 being the least sensitive. At level 9, the sensitivity of the internal sensor is as high as it can go. Press both buttons at once to switch into the sensitivity mode and adjust to the level you need for smooth, safe braking. When you change the setting, the display on the Assure will flash the level before reverting back to showing the power output.

Manual Control: The manual override button on the Curt Assure is pressure sensitive for precise braking power. When you press the button, the trailer's brakes will be activated with the same amount of force, without activating the brakes on your tow vehicle. This is great for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in emergencies. The braking intensity will be indicated on the OLED display when you press this button.

Safety Features

The Assure 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 controller will automatically go into power-saving mode when not in use. This feature will turn on after 30 minutes of inactivity and turn off again the moment you press the brake pedal.

Another great way that the Assure protects the longevity of your setup is a hold feature that saves wear on your brakes. When you're waiting at a red light, you don't need your trailer brakes on at full power. The longer you sit there, the more they will overheat. But with the Assure, any time your tow vehicle and trailer are at a standstill for a prolonged period of time, the controller will reduce the power output to the brakes. This will keep your trailer in place while saving your brakes.

Automatic Leveling and Simple Installation

The self-leveling feature of the Assure ensures that the brake controller continues to function even as you drive up steep hills or through the mountains. Simply mount it in your cab at a vertical angle within 90 degrees, and the controller will level itself automatically. This makes the installation that much easier. But keep in mind that the Assure must be horizontally level and parallel with the direction of travel to work correctly.

Installation is a snap. 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.

Installation Accessories

See also etrailer.com's exclusive 7- and 4-way brake control installation kit (ETBC7 - sold separately) if you don't already have a 7-way plug at the back of your vehicle.

Note: If a custom brake control wiring adapter is not available for your vehicle, either a 20-amp or 30-amp circuit breaker (sold separately) may be required for installation.

Proportional Braking

The Curt Assure brake controller comes equipped with proportional braking to give you the best towing experience. 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 Assure uses an internal inertia sensor to detect 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.

Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers - Dual Plug In
part number: C51453

Install your Curt electric trailer brake controller quickly and easily with this custom wiring adapter. Simply plug one end of the adapter into your brake controller and then plug the other end into the built-in port beneath your vehicle's dash.

Features:

• Plug-in wiring adapter allows for quick, simple installation of your electric trailer brake controller
• No cutting or splicing required
  • Custom connectors plug into the built-in port beneath the dash of your vehicle
  • Other end plugs into the back of your electric brake controller
• Compatible with time-delayed and proportional brake controllers from Curt
  • Brake controller must have built-in plug for adapter to connect - will not work on controllers with pigtail wiring harnesses
• 2' Long, 12-gauge wires have protective covering to deter damage
• Limited 1-year warranty

Installation of Curt Brake Controller Adapter

To install your Curt electric brake controller, you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain auto manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, wherein wiring is run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. When this is done, a port is installed at your dash so that you can easily plug in a brake controller.

This adapter plugs into the ports on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The harness is located underneath the dash, above your gas pedal, and it is taped to another harness.

No hardwiring is required to install this adapter. After you plug it into the 2 factory ports, you simply plug the other end of the adapter directly into your electric trailer brake controller. Because there are no wires to connect, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time to transfer it to another vehicle or securely stow it away.

This is used on a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 pulling a 16' enclosed cargo trailer. With the appropriate adaptor cable it was very easy to install, just plug in and mount in a convenient spot. Once installed it was simple to get it matched to the weight and brake setup of the trailer. Close to 6k miles with it so far & very happy.1743630

The directions on this item are horrible. I finally figured it out and was able to install it onto my Ram 1500, but only after spending hours trying to make everything fit right. If you're looking for a hitch setup to pull a trailer long distances, I would advise you to look at other options. This will work for my short trips with my half-ton pickup, but I would not want to pull anything more than 50 miles with this setup.1427857

Installed on a 2014 dodge ram 1500... The wires took literally 2 seconds to find under the dash, per etrailers instructional video, and took another to 2 seconds to clip on the pigtail. Hooked up the brake controller and powered up fine. Haven't got a chance to use it yet since the car hauler is about 400 ft back on the property and I got the truck stuck going back to try and get it. Its awdul muddy here in michigan in April. Hopefully some warm weather soon so I can get to it and try this controller out! I ordered it on Wednesday, did 2nd day shipping and called to insure I could receive it by Friday, the lady on the phone had them ship it, within ten minutes I had a confirmation email. 185381
