Question:
I have a 1998 Isuzu Trooper and will be towing a RV trailer with 2 axles weighing 3,200 pounds dry. Which brake controllers would you recommend?

Expert Reply:
The brake controller I recommend for you is the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885. This brake controller works to apply the trailer's brakes proportionally to the brakes of your 1998 Isuzu Trooper, helping the trailer brake smoother and causing less wear and tear on both the trailer and your vehicle. The P2 also features a digital display, 3 boost levels, battery protection, and continuous diagnostics. This controller is designed to work with trailers that have up to 4 axles with brakes, so it will certainly work well for your dual axle trailer. I've attached a review video of this brake controller for you.
To install the brake controller on your Trooper, you will first need a 4-Way flat trailer wiring harness, such as # C55339 if your vehicle does not already have a connector. After the 4-Way connector, you will want to install a 7-Way trailer connector. For a kit that includes everything needed to install the 7-Way connector and brake controller, the # ETBC7 kit is a great option. The linked instructions for this kit will walk you through the installation of the kit and the brake controller.
