You really want to keep the factory controller. It will perform much better than after-market units.

I don't necessarily disagree... but why do you feel that way?

I'm only thinking about other complicated electronics that car manufacturers attempt to make and aftermarket is typically far superior (Radios, GPS, Alarms, Auto-starts, heated washer fluid, heated seats... the list goes on and on)

I have often found that an aftermarket manufacturer specializes in a very specific technology and that OEM typically does not have the experience to get it right.

Well it isn't a "feeling." I know that the OEM brakes are applied according to how much pressure your foot has on the brake pedal. Nearly all of the after-market units apply the trailer brakes by using a sensor that detects deceleration. I would rather be in control of the brakes.

I didn't disagree, I just don't know about them and I stated that. I can certainly agree that there is a huge difference in aftermarket controllers. I had a very cheap one that was okay, then I got the inertia style one and it was a thousand times better, and if the IBC's are even better then that.... then I want one!
