Prodigy RF, thou art my new best friend!

Hey all,

Just a word of praise for my new Prodigy RF brake controller. Got it on Amazon for a steal on an open box model. Had it hooked up in 20 minutes flat and it drives/stops LIKE A DREAM.

I have had nothing but trouble with my old controller. I releaize now it's JUNK. I can hear this one working, I NEVER heard the brakes on my old one.

It's so smooth and the hand heald control makes it so easy to add braking. I often find myself using my hand and foot together. It's a very natural control. I can stop without a single clunk from the trailer!

PLUS the best part is now I can shop for a NEW truck with ease. All I need is a seven way. I don't have to worry about a connector or not. That's the BEST part of all.

    That is awesome, let us know how it works as you put a few miles on it. Glad to hear you've finally got a controller that you can relax with.

    Just wondering - how come you got such a high end controller?


    Well, frankly I was tearing my van apart. I have a small trailer, Skyline Nomad 173 and we tow it with a 2012 Nissan Quest.

    I weight it at CAT last spring at 2400 pounds after I took off the spare and it was completely dry.

    I got the controller on Amazon for 245 dollars as a Warehouse deal. I then complained right after it came that it was too used because someone installed it. But, I knew they just bolted it on because the other packages were still sealed. So for 235 bucks I got this bad boy.

    I calculated that it's a 35 mile drive one way to the trailer's dealer. That means 2 cars have to go UP to the dealer and leave the van for them to fix and 2 cars have to go BACK. The van gets about 17 miles to the gallon. So I knew each trip would cost me something. Plus I'd have to give a saturday up or take a vacation day. They close before I get home.

    I knew that if I bought from Amazon and it didn't work, I could send it back.

    I had NO FAITH that the dealer could fix the HuskyTow brake controller, they didn't even releaze there was a Pulse feature on the brakes. Means they never tested it.

    I have 2 small boys, if 235 bucks is the cost of safety, I'll pay it. Every dime.

    Plus I did it myself and that's a good feeling!
