Hey Kevin, great questions! The Redarc Tow-Pro Link # RED57AR SwayStop works with the simple push of a button. All you have to do is press the manual override (SwayStop button in the picture below) once and it will kick in to get your trailer sway under control. The Link has a 6-axis accelerometer so once you press the button the brake controller will sense the vehicle sway at the rear and apply the brakes accordingly until it stops.

Hey thanks for the info! Just to be clear, I can use this by plugging it in behind my 7-way? It fits a USCAR connector?

@Tom that is correct. It plugs in behind the 7-way as long as it is a USCAR connection. Make sure yours is able to be removed at the rear to plug it in, some are sealed and can't be unplugged depending on what you have.

Hi Benjamin; the 2026 BMW X5 with the factory tow package will have a port for your brake controller. Assuming you're using the same P3 #90195 you need the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - BMW #TK29FR.

Hey Dennis! The Acadia and Traverse do share a lot, but the coil springs are different which means the #AL99PD will not fit your 2025 Traverse High Country. You may be able to use the universal springs like #AL60909 but you will need to measure to…
