Curt Venturer NEXT Trailer Brake Controller - 1-3 Axles - Time Delayed
part number: C74VV

A simple LED display and a pinch-trigger manual override make this time-delayed brake controller easy to read and easy to use. Installation is quick and simple with no mounting restrictions. Activates brakes with a preset intensity.

Features:

  • Brake controller activates trailer brakes with preset intensity
  • Adjustable power output control lets you select the amount of braking force
    • Rocker switches located on left front of module for easy access
  • 10 Gain settings and 9 load settings allow you to adapt to various driving conditions
    • Select a higher setting for harder braking and lower for more gradual braking
  • Pinch-trigger manual override is within easy reach for controlling trailer sway or stopping in emergencies
  • Simple LED display shows the amount of power output
    • Self-diagnostics monitor trailer connection and check for shorts
  • LCD display shows power adjustments in 1.0 increments
    • Brightness is adjustable for optimal visibility
  • Auto-sleep mode prevents battery drain after 5 minutes of idle time
  • Quick and easy installation with no mounting restrictions
    • No need to mount level - install anywhere at any angle
    • Included mounting bracket and hardware designed to hold brake controller flush against the dash
    • Plug-in, vehicle-specific brake control adapter (sold separately) available for select vehicles to reduce installation time


Specs:

  • Application: trailers with up to 3 axles (6 brake assemblies)
    • Compatible with low-volt, PWM, ABS, cruise control, and electric-over-hydraulic trailer brakes
  • Dimensions: 4" long x 3-1/8" wide x 1" thick
  • Limited lifetime warranty


Gain Adjustment

Gain control lets you set the maximum amount of power that will be applied to your trailer's brakes, adjusting in increments of 1. 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. Typically, the gain is only readjusted when you experience changing road conditions or if the weight of your trailer changes. To get more power to your brakes, press the left-hand upper rocker switch. To decrease the gain, press the lower switch. When you make your adjustment, the gain setting will show on the LED screen for 5 seconds as a series of bars and then go into sleep mode to reduce drain on the battery.


Load Control

Once you have the gain set, you can fine-tune your braking by adjusting the load control on a scale of 1 to 9. This controls the aggressiveness of your trailer's braking, meaning how quickly the brakes reach the maximum braking level. Load control can get the braking power to your trailer faster and with more intensity so that it doesn't push your tow vehicle forward. If your vehicle takes too long to come to a stop, increase the setting by pressing the right-hand upper rocker switch. If it stops too abruptly, decrease the setting by pressing the lower switch. You can alter the setting to suit your driving preferences or to improve handling based on changing road conditions or varied trailer loads.


Pinch-Trigger Manual Override

The Venturer comes with a easy-to-reach, pinch-trigger manual override, great for stopping sway or controlling your trailer's momentum in emergencies. To engage the manual override, just push in the trigger. This will activate the trailer's brakes and brake lights without you having to apply the brakes on your tow vehicle, perfect for limiting trailer movement while you're cruising.


LED Display

The LED display on the Venturer is large and easy to read at a glance. It will show you what setting the brake controller is on as well as give you information for troubleshooting. You can adjust the screen brightness or trigger night mode so it won't glare obnoxiously on your dash. Press the control button to cycle through the different modes, shown as a bar - keeping it simple.


Curt Venturer NEXT

Quick Installation

Because inertia plays no role in the functioning of this controller, you do not have to mount the unit at any particular angle. 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:

20-Amp circuit breaker (9506P - sold separately) for 2- to 4-brake applications

30-Amp circuit breaker (38630 - sold separately) for 6- to 8-brake applications


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.


Time-Delayed Braking

what is time-delayed braking

The Curt Venturer NEXT comes equipped with time-delayed braking. Every time you apply the brakes in your vehicle, a signal is sent - via the brake switch - to the Venturer. The controller then sends power out to your trailer brakes to activate them with an intensity set by you, at a rate determined by you. Both the amount of braking power (gain) and rate of application (load) can be adjusted to suit your preference, the road conditions, the type of trailer, and the weight of your load. To determine which levels are best for your application, test your towing setup and choose what feels right.

Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers - Dual Plug In
part number: C51352

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 junction box 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 connector end plugs into the electric junction box 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.


Junction Box on VehicleBrake-Control Adapter Port

This adapter plugs into the port that is built into the electric junction box beneath your vehicle's dash. The black box is located to the left of the steering column, just above the carpet. To plug in the adapter, first remove the cover on the box. The adapter plugs into the second slot from the left, on the top row.


No hardwiring is required to install this adapter. After you plug it into the factory port, 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.

Installed but not used with a trailer yet, easy instruction and appreciate the extra hardware for the installation.
Compact and not intrusive. Decided to use the adhesive tape included and taped under the dashboard L of the steering wheel.

Plug and play, no drama.

Slimmer than most of the others. Easy install with the additional pigtail.



by: Pete D.07/28/2016

The Curt electric brake controller was the easiest installation I have ever had. I ordered the custom wiring adapter along with the brake controller; it all came with easy to follow instructions and it only took about 30 minutes to install the entire unit. I had done some checking around to get estimates from various companies which do the installations and their costs were around $300.00. The Curt unit including the adapter wiring was $**.00 and a very easy install. I used the brake controller during a recent camping trip on which I was pulling a 24 foot camp trailer. The controller worked great and I could easily control the trailer in some extreme mountainous terrains in Wyoming.

Bought this trailer controller cable with a Curt Trailer Brake Controller. I dont know if it works or not. I installed this along with thr trailer brake controller at the same time. Nothing works. No lights power up on the controller. I highly respect Curt Products as I have many installed on my truck, but I'm disappointed with this combo purchase.

by: Jim S.04/21/2014

Given the fact that I only planned to tow my travel trailer one way up to the lake, I wanted an inexpensive brake controller. I looked online and in stores, and they were all over $100. When you added in the wiring. The controller I purchased from E-trailer only cost $49.99 including the wiring. I simply plugged it in, and after a short test tow, it works great. Took about 15 minutes to install. I'm very satisfied with my Curt brake controller. Got it in 3 days after ordering. Arrived fast, installed fast, and works great at a great price. What more can you ask? I'll be ordering from E-trailer in the future. Thank you.

Appears to be the correct harness as the plugs match the brake unit and the splice in GM pig tail that came with the truck. Bought it to avoid cutting and splicing as well as avoiding voiding the brake unit warranty. Big Benefit also that I can unplug and move to another vehicle if needed Had the unit within 5 days including the week end, that's great customer service by etrailer

Im still using the above items and have had no problems with them. Thanks.



by: none11/16/2014

Great price and prompt order processing. Controller mounting kit and harness made for a very easy install; about 20 minutes. Unit worked without any problems on a recent 300 mile trip with a horse trailer. Went over some fairly steep inclines in the Blue Ridge area of Virginia. Chose Curt Tri-flex controller over the more expensive brands because two of the three trailer dealers in the area carried those units as their default controller. The unit has all the braking functions without the fancy screens and interfaces. Found that I rarely looked at the controller display and the discrete black box worked for me.



by: Don Douglass 11/14/2016

Second time I have ordered parts for towing my trailer. Product was a snap well 2 snaps to install and works perfectly. Allows me to move my brake controller between both my vehicles. Used customer service this time as well and was extremely satisfied. Staff was knowledgeable, kind, and friendly.



by: Perry11/28/2017

First, let me say that I have never been disappointed with any of my transactions with etrailer. This holds true with my latest purchase of a Curtis brake controller and pigtail. This is my second because the first was fried when the trailer wiring shorted out. I received the controller in 3 days, which included a partial weekend. The pigtail make installation so simple. I literally had the old controller out and the new one in within 5 minutes. I will look at etrailer first for any of my trailering needs.

This made installation of the brake controller a dream. Connect to controller and plug into the port for the truck, 2005 Chevy 1500 Silverado. No muss, no fuss. Total installation time was about 20 minutes.

-Plug in and go--- Quick and easy installation. Works great. etrailer was great to deal with. I had a missing part in one of the boxes, due to careless shipping, and I E-mailed about the part and etrailer sent a new part right away. Thanks for great service.

Great way to get an electric brake controller wired into your vehicle. GM was real smart to put a plug receptacle in the electric box for the electric brakes for trailers. etrailer shipped my order right away and all the items ordered were in great shape. Will be buying from them again.

George, the wiring harness only took 3 mins. to install and works great. I couldn't take a picture because it tucked away so well. Now I can pull my 21 ft camper over the Colorado mountain passes safely. Thank you and stay healthy and safe.

This was well worth the money. No. cutting required it was fast and easy. Come to find out I had an universal type one that came with my truck but it would have required me to cut wires. But the universal one did have a fuse that is needed to have the trailer brakes work. So keep in mind you may need to buy one of those. I assume they are cheap but just another step in having it work!



by: Chris vent04/02/2015

Fast delivery. Super easy installation. Super easy setup. I had my trailer hooked to my truck and was testing the new brake control in 30 mins after opening the box from the big brown truck.

  • Recommended Brake Controller for 2017 Land Rover Discovery
  • Your 2017 Land Rover Discovery can have a brake controller added, but there is not a custom wiring harness. This simply means you will hardwire a brake controller like # C74VV you asked about. I am not a fan of this particular controller you have asked about, so I recommend you go with a proportional controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195 or a more cost efficient option like # TK90160. The difference is the proportional controllers have an integrated sensor so they determine deceleration

  • No Power On Blue Wire From Curt Venturer Brake Controller That Is Flashing Red
  • When the Curt Venturer Trailer Brake Controller # C74VV flashes red it means there is a short on the brake output circuit which sounds exactly like what is happening. The red wire should show power only when brakes are applied. The black wire should show somewhere close to 12V and the white wire is the ground so it should not have power. The blue wire not showing power is the brake output circuit and it should show power when the brake pedal is depressed or the manual override on the brake

  • Could Curt Triflex Replace Curt Venturer In 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • Yes a proportional Curt controller like the part # C24VV could easily replace a # C74VV. It would be just a matter of unplugging the old controller and plugging in the new one. For suspension enhancement I would go with the Timbren kit part # TJRJK instead of an air bag kit because maintaining air pressure in bags can be a bit of a hassle and the Timbrens get installed and you never have to think about them again.

  • Troubleshooting Curt Venturer Trailer Brake Controller Without Trailer Connected
  • The Curt Venturer Trailer Brake Controller # C74VV will not work correctly until it senses a trailer attached. A trailer will actually have a small draw on the brake controller output wire, so if you want to test without a trailer, you can use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to create that draw on your output wire to allow you to see the function. The brake controller output pin of a 7-way is in the 5 o'clock position as you look at the rear of your truck.

  • Curt Trailer Brake Controller Does Not Apply Trailer Brakes when Connected to 2005 Honda Odyssey
  • The most likely culprit is going to be either a dirty or corroded trailer connector or brake magnet wiring. This can cause a short or a weak connection. First, disconnect the trailer and examine the vehicle side connector. Clean off any dirt or corrosion on the pins. Also check the back of the connector where the wires attach because corrosion can build up there as well. Once you have done that use a circuit tester like # PTW2979 if needed to test the brake output pin (5:00 position)

  • Can a Brake Controller be Installed on a 2014 Nissan Frontier with Aftermarket Remote Start
  • If the remote start uses the CHMSL or stop light circuits then it is possible that using the brake controller could blow that fuse if the circuit is overdrawn. But considering that a remote start is only using the brake signal to shut down the motor before using the key to restart it the chances of that happening are slim to none. If you want to use Curt controller # C74VV then you will need wiring harness # C51382 to plug it into your 2014 Nissan Frontier.

  • Troubleshooting Brake Controller that Says Not Connected to Trailer
  • Since your trailer's brakes worked on another truck that would indicate that the problem is on the truck side of the equation. First and easiest thing to check is to check for corrosion on your truck's 7-way. Some fine grit sandpaper can easily remove any corrosion that would prevent the connetion from being made. Testing the brake controller is fairly easy. Sever the blue brake output wire near the brake controller leaving enough room to reconnect it and then apply the manual slide.

  • Troubleshooting Brake Controller Installation On 2003 GMC 3500
  • When checking the brake output circuit of a 7-Way there should not be 12 volts of power all the time. A Curt brake controller will have what is termed 'dead' voltage at idle. This means there is voltage but no amperage draw. You can test for amperage instead of voltage to see if that is the case. If so, then you do not have a problem. If you are showing amperage draw that would indicate a short somewhere or possibly a problem with the brake controller. For a Curt brake controller, and if
