The Reese Pilot is made by Tekonsha and is the same as all the other "Pilot" models under various names. It is probably our best seller, seconded by the Prodigy.
Unlike some other digital controlers like Draw-Tite, it has adjustments from 1-14 where the Draw-Tite only has from 1-10. This makes for a more precise load control as far as braking.
I have driven at least 1000 of these after installing them...they work well. Our company trucks have them for delivery too. I have logged about 200,000 miles towing with these. You can also install it up side down for lefties if you need to and can switch the display for the upside down install.
Average price is around $50-$75 for one.
Good luck....happy towing
