What brake controller
OK, I'm confused:? but it doesn't take much. I need a brake controller for my 04 Explorer Sport Trac towing my Aliner trailer. Trailer has brakes and weighs around 1200 loaded. What kind of controller...

Yes and it was adjusted properly. You had to change the setting while going thru a Campground or it would put you thru the front windshield. Scary part if U did not return to the heavier setting you basically had NO brakes on the highway.
That certainly was not my experience with it.
Me thinks you exaggerate a bit, or something was not right with either the controller or your trailer brakes.

Sounds more like a Voyager. My Prodigy was smooth as glass. In town, in the CG, or on the highway. Set, and forget.
BTW. the factory controller in my F150 is the same way. Set, and forget.
The Voyagers are really junky. I had a couple of them and when the second one got weak, I took it apart (retired EE) for an inspection..
The part is uses to regulate current to the brakes is rated at 1.5 amps. They heat sink it somewhat so that it can put out enough to power the four brakes for a while but the undersized components explain why they get weaker with age and use.
