Question:
What is the main difference between the value and premium versions of these 8000 lb brake assemblies? Does one offer anymore stopping power over the other?
asked by: Steven T
Helpful Expert Reply:
The value 8k etrailer brake assembly set part # AKEBRK-8 and the premium Dexter 8k set part # 23-434-435 both offer the same stopping power. The Dexter brand is widely considered to be the best brand for trailer braking components and they do work really well but the etrailer brand is not low quality by any means and with the price difference as large as it is I would say it's the easy winner.
