    I have found that the cheaper models are harder to set when you swap between trailers, but it should be good for a bumper pull. Like I said earlier, Tekonsha makes (atleast all the ones I have had in the past) a good product.

    Tekonsha is the only brand I would buy. Never heard or seen a problem with them. I want to bump up to the digital one in a few years.

    Tekonsha Prodigy is best. Ex had one in her truck, it was prety nifty. I have a Tekonsha Voyager in my crewcab and it gets the job done just fine.
    On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"

    i would spend the extra $60 and get a Prodigy. Mine works just fine even after a Kustom Motel 6 hotel room install.

    I would get the cheapest one with inertia control. Timers suck.

    Here's the theory of operation with a timer.
    The longer the brake lights are on, the more power to the brakes. Does not matter how fast you are trying to stop. It works the same all the time. And it sucks all the time.

    I keep a digital record of what settings for how much I have on the trailer so I don't have to guess so much.

    Pirate.

    I have the P3 and it doesn't do sh1t. Still in the box and wouldn't help even if it was wired up since I still need to wire up my trailer brakes (Hope that helps)

    so why would you "spend the extra $60 and get the prodigy?"
    at least 3 years ago or whenever I stopped reading pirate, the prodigy was the trailers/towing incarnation of the Taurus fan.

    that thing he posted is cheesy, for $60 more mine is nice with a digital readout and such. The one karl/sharpe has works too.
