Hi Bob!

We can definitely get you a proportional brake controller that will plug right into your 2023 Honda Ridgeline. Just be aware, the two I have listed below do require you to have the factory towing package.

First is the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # 90195. This is the best brake controller on the market and with the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Honda # 3070-P, it will plug right in. It's easy to use and setup and is highly recommended. The only "downside" is that it is a tradition style that will hang down into your footwell. I say that's a downside as I am 6'5" and I always hit my knees on these types of controllers. If you aren't abnormally tall though, you probably won't need to worry about that, which means there are no downsides to this controller.

If you are tall, the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller w/ Custom Harness - Dash Knob - Up to 2 Axles - Proportional # RED74CR is the better option. The main control unit mounts up and out of the way under the dash with only the adjustment knob being visible. You can mount that wherever you like and I think it looks much more OEM than any other controller on the market. It includes the harness that plugs into the port under your dash and I think this is the one I would go with. It's a little more expensive, but I think it's worth it.

What kind of trailer are you going to be towing?

Hey Bob, how did the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty end up working with your Ridgeline’s towing setup? It sounds like a clean option with that dash knob design. Your feedback could really help others comparing these brake controllers.
