Aftermarket brake controllers?
I need to add a brake controller to our Honda Odyssey and wanted to know if there are any recommended controllers? Don't need anything fancy, just wanting to know if there are any to stay away from?

The Odyssey is my wife's car. I drive an F150 FX4 so it has no issues towing the trailer.
Was just hoping that with a trans and ps cooler and tow package we could tow an empty trailer.
guess that's not possible?
GVWR for this trailer is 3850 lbs, 350 lbs over the Ody's likely trailer tow rating of 3500 lbs ... I say "likely" because we have no idea of the year or trim level of your Ody. Possible? ... sure, but do you really want to start off by towing 10% over the vehicle's rating and have to be really careful about what you load into a trailer with such limited cargo capacity? Presumably you have a reason for wanting to tow with the Ody rather than your F150 but it doesn't sound like a good solution to me. Remember, it's not just about weight but also the significant effect of wind resistance that quadruples as road speed doubles. You'll feel that trailer behind the Ody for sure. Good luck. :)
