Does the Tuson DirecLink Brake Controller Check Pressure from Factory Transducer Signal

Updated 04/25/2023 | Published 04/23/2023

Question:

Does this brake controller reference pressure from the factory transducer signal on a 2022 f350? Not looking for an inertia type controller. The sensor and info is available on these trucks just trying to find a good controller that can use hydraulic pressure for reference. Thank you

The Tuson DirecLink Base Model Trailer Brake Controller # 335DL-100 takes a handful of parameters into account when it applies braking. I reached out to my contact at Tuson about the factory transducer signal on your 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty and while they said they can't answer that directly (they don't want to put any info out there about what all it reads), they did say the controller will apply more braking power if the towing rig is moving faster - so it is able to tell speed and adjust the braking to make for a smoother braking experience than you get with inertia-type brake systems.
