I went through several different controllers and none would give me much current when hauling a 19,000 pound living quarter horse trailer with all the gear and 4 horses onboard.
If you turn up a Prodigy you get a jerk the instant the brake light switch closes but with a heavy load the decel the integrated sensor needs to see to dial up more current doesn't happen.
