most new pickup trucks and hd vans can be purchased with the factory brake controllers.
now that the max brake and smart brake controllers are no longer in production.
is there any options for a brake controller that ties into the vehicles brake hydraulic system.
i know the electronic controllers have improved over the years.
but...
when driving, there is no comparison between the electronic and the hydraulic-electronic controllers.
i don't feel safe using the electronic controllers after using the hydraulic controller.
thanks for your inputs..

My first controller was tied into my vehicles hydraulic system. It worked very well, probably better than my next couple electronic only models. I think most if not all were discontinued, due to new regulations not allowing tampering with existing brake system.
