What Does Sensitivity/Boost Setting of Curt TriFlex Brake Controller Refer To
Published 09/13/2018 >
Question:
Can you explain the difference between the two settings and tell me how and what each setting affects on braking? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
The Curt Triflex Brake Controller part # C24VV that you referenced has 9 different sensitivity settings so that you can adjust how aggressive you want the inertia sensor to react to deceleration. Since not all trailer brakes are as sensitive as others this allows you to tailor the braking to the trailer. So basically the higher the sensitivity the harder the brakes will apply with the same level of deceleration. This is also known as the "boost" setting as well.
