Question:
What is the difference between the Tuson DirectLInk Base Model and the Lite Model other than the price? The online info does not make it clear. Im looking to use it on a two horse trailer pulled by a 2008 Suburban.

The main difference between the Tuson DirecLink Base Model Trailer Brake Controller part # 335DL-100 and the Tuson DirecLink Lite Trailer Brake Controller part 335DL-50 is that the Base has low-speed brake adjustments and transmission temperature monitoring on Ford and GM vehicles. The low speed brake adjustments allows you to adjust the amount of braking that the DirecLink applies at low vehicle velocities such as in town driving.
The Tuson DirecLink is one of the most innovative brake controllers on the market and either will be a great match for your 2008 Chevrolet Suburban.
