My TV is getting old. I am thinking about a new truck to tow my 32 foot TT. I know that many of the new TV have factory installed integrated brake controllers. What I do not know is how well do they work.I would welcome some "reviews" on how well they perform vs older user installed controllers such as the Tekonsha or Prodigy.

My last two trucks have had the integrated brake controllers. And they work very well. Have never had an after market controller so can't comment on differences.

You do have to adjust it a little bit, like any other controller. The instructions in the Ford manual are all wrong, just ignore them. They were written by someone who has never towed a trailer, LOL. Just adjust it the same way you would any other controller.

I have had the IBC on three trucks now and they work flawlessly. Just set it and forget it as it is totally proportional to the brake pedal pressure you apply. I set my F250 at level 9 towing a 10,000 lb trailer and have never had to adjust it. Because they work so smoothly, I at first thought it was not working the first time I used one. Not grabby at all, just nice smooth braking action. Highly recommend.

Works great. Like previous poster said, just set it and drive.

Our 2015 F350 has the 1st IBC we've ever had and it is great.Very smoothWe have 3 trailers programed into the truck and I select which trailer is hooked up and it shows me the miles I have towed it and the brake setting I've selected.
