Question:

Will this work on the new DT platform of the 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Cab 4x4? If not: 1 what other product lines will? 2 What harness is required for each product line? 3 Will the pickup require flashing? Thanks in advance...

Yes, the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 will work on the 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie "DT Platform". There will be no additional harnesses required and there is no flashing/reprogramming required whatsoever either.

The Echo is a relatively new brake controller that is gaining a lot of popularity. The reason for this is because it does not require any modifications to the tow vehicle, it just plugs into the 7-way and you use your phone to customize settings and activate the manual override. The other major reason as to the growing popularity of this brake controller is because it uses a device you are already comfortable using (your phone), you do not need to read an entire comprehensive manual and familiarize yourself with the controls and codes to use it. Please note that if your phone loses power the brake controller will still function as normal.
