Comparing the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 and Tekonsha Envoy Electric Trailer Brake Controllers
Updated 03/26/2010 | Published 03/25/2010
Question:
I recently purchased a used Dodge pickup with a Voyager installed. I also have a Tekonsha Envoy controller which appears to be newer. Is there any advantage to using one over the other? Im pulling a 28 two axle 5th wheel. TIA

The Envoy is an older brake controller that Tekonsha does not sell any longer. I do not know much about the Envoy controller so I asked my Tekonsha rep what he thought about the two and he stated that the Voyager is a more effective/reliable and user friendly brake control unit than the Envoy unit.
The Tekonsha Voyager, part # 39510, is still sold by Tekonsha, and it has proved to be a valuable brake controller. I have added links to the Voyager instructions as well as a video review of the Voyager. The video shows how to install, set-up and use the Voyager.
I am including a link to a FAQ page on brake controllers.
