Comparing the Level Sensor on the Curt Echo and Tekonsha Prodigy RF
Updated 07/22/2020 | Published 07/20/2020 >
Question:
I read your article on the Curt vs. Prodigy RF controller. I was hoping it would identify the advantage of having the level sensor? What is the advantage of the level sensor in the prodigy v.s the Curt to another wired controller for that mater?

Expert Reply:
In regards to the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 and Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller, the Curt Echo can be mounted in any direction whereas the Tekonsha RF has to be mounted parallel to the direction of travel. This is one of a few reasons I recommend the Curt Echo over the Tekonsha RF.
