Specs:
The off-road mode is a unique feature of the Redarc Tow-Pro Link. In this mode, the brake controller will apply your trailer's brakes with a preset amount of power, independent of what your tow vehicle is doing.
This is ideal for off-roading or challenging conditions. Set the power low if you're towing through sand or mud so that the trailer doesn't stop with too much force and act as an anchor. If navigating a steep descent, set the power to a higher level to ensure that the trailer doesn't push against the tow vehicle.
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 Link uses an internal 6-axis accelerometer and gyrometer 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.

Easy Install, Smart Design, Minor Cord Quibble
I recently purchased the Redarc off-road rated trailer brake controller and have been very happy with it. Even as an etrailer employee, I was genuinely excited to see this product hit the market, and after using it, it hasn’t disappointed.
Installation was about as easy as it gets. The physical install was quick and straightforward with no splicing, cutting, or fishing for wires. I mounted the control box to the frame above my spare tire, which keeps it protected from road debris and completely out of the way.
Calibration took a couple of short test drives to dial in, which has been my experience with other brake controllers as well. Once set, braking has been smooth and consistent.
One feature I really appreciate is the removable controller. When I’m not towing, I can store it in my center console. I also like that I don’t have to rely on my phone for brake control. I’ve used the Curt Echo before, and by comparison, using a phone for braking always felt a bit inconvenient.
That said, the app still adds real value. Being able to test my trailer lights from my phone is a huge plus and saves a lot of time compared to the usual back-and-forth or needing a second person. It’s probably my favorite non-braking feature.
My only downside is the corded controller. I’d love to see a future version with a USB-C connection instead of the standard USB.
Overall: 10/10, would buy again.
