Curt TriFlex or Tekonsha Primus IQ Brake Controller Comparison
Published 09/21/2017 >
Question:
Choosing a brake controller: I have narrowed my choice between Curt Triflex #C51140 and Tehonsha Primus IQ TK 90160. Generally equal units, as far as I can tell, the foot pattern of the Triflex is more desirable plus, component construction ie. circuit board makeup. My question: for my 2014 Chev. 1500 Silverado, pulling a 27ft. 7,000lb. RV, which unit would I have the best value and/or result?

The Tekonsha brake controllers for us are the best option. We sell the most of them and see the fewest electrical issues with them so you'd be best served with the Tekonsha Primus IQ part # TK90160.
We don't sell quite as many of the Curt controllers but we see more issues with them from our customers so they aren't my first choice.
