Should I replace my brake control?
I have a 1999 Suburban that came with a Power Stop Model 500-PS. It works, but I'm sure there are much better options out there. We're putting a lot of money into the trailer right now, so if I can ...

It IS a time based unit. Anytime you see "solid state" in terms of a brake control it is a time based unit. Simply a fact.
I have two time based brake controllers in the cabinent and have them ONLY for back up's. (time based trailer brakes are much better than NO trailer brakes)
I am about to install a proportional Draw Tite intella stop brake controller on my Minivan. This is a re-branded Tekonsha Prodigy.
I have had great experiences with the proportional brake controls from Tekonsha in the past and believe that you will be well served by them as well.
You can get a p2 or a p3. They both do the same thing and have the same internals. The P3 has a different display but the two controls are functionally similar.
You could even go for a Primus IQ which functions the same as a P2 and P3 it just doesn't have the electric over hydraulic function
What I look forward too is the boost function on this controller. Basically I can set the trailer brakes to be more or less aggressive when I first hit the Tow Vehicles brakes.
On Edit I went over to Amazon and found that Draw-Tite has a rebranded Tekonsha Primus IQ called the I-Stop IQ currently for only $79.00. Don't worry about the label, this brake controller is a Tekonsha with a different Label. This one has the same inner workings as a Prodigy, it even has the boost features. Here is a link.
Thanks!
