What brake controller

I have an 2005 f-150 4X4 and am in the market for a brake controller. I will be towing a 2 axle trailer with brakes. What are your recomendations? Thanks

The Tekonsha P3's are out.......a little more expensive, but a few new features and better on boad diagnostics.

Tekonsha doesn't even have their website updated with this one yet.

If you seach for a "Tekonsha P3" on a web search you will find a few hits.

I just ordered my prodigy today. Cost me $121 w/the harness plug and shipping. Here is the link I was sent on another site. Reasonable price.

$100 seems like the going rate. I got one from www.rjays.com a couple years ago as a gift for my FIL.

Havent had a chance to tow with it yet. Got it in my hand thursday, had it in the truck thursday night.

Prodigy is the only way to go. This is where I bought mine a few years back. Very good controler. Set it up one time and forget it. Hands down the best controler on the market for the money.

I will second the motion by JMay.

The Prodigy sells all over the internet for about $100.

Its a straight-forward do it yourslef project, especially of you already have the tow package for your F-150. Plug-n-play almost.
