Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Control for Ford Vehicles (1994 and up)

This works as advertised and is easy to setup if you purchase the cable designed for your vehicle.Only received 4 stars as opposed to 5 due to length of cable, would be nicer to have longer pre-made cable (or a choice of lengths) to enable mounting in more easily accessible location.

I installed this in a 2004 ford explorer, I saw a video on U-Tube and followed those instructions, My install was a simple "plug and go" as the vehicle has factory installed trailer/towing package. there are three stages of brake pressure, I use the first stage, my trailer being 1700 lbs. When I pull to a stop I find it better not to ride the brakes as I get a surging when I get almost stopped, Now I just drive up and stop. the brakes/trailer braking system make this vehicle stop better than with the trailer attached than without the trailer attached. The instructions for installation are pretty basic once you have your wiring set up. took me less than 30 minutes to run the adaptor wire over the console to the unit that I installed just above the gas pedal.

I drive a 2000 Ford Excursion pulling a 27 foot TT that weighs about 8,000 lbs loaded. I needed to replace my old controller. I had heard a lot of good things about this Prodigy controller. They are all true. It is essentially plug and play. I just had my son pop off the old controller and attached this one to the same holes and plugged it in to the existing harness. Calibrating the braking was easy enough and the instructions were clear. I like being able to see what is happening and the additional boost control is a nice feature.

This was my first brake controller purchase, ever. I did my research and decided that this model had the features I wanted and the good reputation I was looking for. Installation and setup took only a few minutes. I got to test it out this weekend towing our 3000lb+ pop-up camper up and over a couple 5000ft high mountain ranges to get to our favorite camping spot. The P2 brake controller operated flawlessly and I'm so very glad that I decided to upgrade my pickup truck with it.I would definitely recommend this model brake controller.

The hardest part is the mounting screws. This old mans body does not want to lay on the floor under the steering wheel. The rest was easy. Just plug and play in a ford f150. I really do like the manual brake on the bottom of the unit. I may never need it or use it but I am glad it's there. It's more than I wanted to pay (about the same amount as I would spend on a trip to Walmart) but I am glad I did and would do it again. I think it is worth it.

I purchased this brake controller to install in my F350 for towing our Keystone Montana 34' fifth wheel. The Montana is 10K lbs. empty and probably at or near 12K loaded. I like the idea of the boost feature and how it applies more braking initially to help stabilize the whole stopping effort. We have used it on one trip so far and I am very pleased with the unit and the price was great as well.

This brake controller was very easy to set up, mount and use. It works very well and is very adjustable. I onw three trailers, ranging from 8 feet to 32 feet. Once you have the numbers figured out, it is a simple dial adjustment, then off you go! I leave it installed permanently, but you could easily remove it between uses. I would have no reservations about recommending this controller.

I bought the part but really didn't need now I'm stuck with it
