Expert Reply:
Yes, electric brake assemblies will work in reverse. The brake controller in your tow vehicle would still activate in reverse as long as the brakes are applied.
The actuating arm of the Dexter assemblies part # 23-27 will apply the brakes when pushed in either direction. That means that in forward or reverse the assemblies will still apply trailer brakes.
