Recommendation Converting Trailer from Surge to Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes
Updated 05/16/2023 | Published 05/15/2023
Question:
I have a 2005 Ford F-350 with the factory brake controller. My trailer is a triple axle, 12,600 lb gvwr, Venture boat trailer with surge brakes disk. All three axles have brakes. I want to change the braking system to electric over hydraulic. Which electric over hydraulic brake kit would I need for my specific truck and trailer setup to make that change? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
We recommend the HydraStar kits as they are the most reliable and quickest reacting like the Hydrastar kit part # HS481-8067 which comes with everything needed to convert your trailer to work with electric over hydraulic brakes. Your integrated 2005 Ford F-350 brake controller is compatible with it.
