Need advice on replacing my brakesmart controller

[Armand_C]

After 13 years, my brakesmart controller finally failed. Now I need to replace it with a new brake controller. During a search for a new one, i discovered that they no longer make Brakesmart controllers. I need a recommendation on a new controller. My dealer recommended that I not use any controller that ties into the master cylinder on my truck when i mentioned i was looking at a maxbrake controller. Anyone have any recommendations for a brake controller. My truck is a 2004 Ford F250 and integrated brake controllers were not offered on that vehicle until the following model year. When looking at the Max brake controller, I didn't see anything that would fit my truck.

The best going right now is the Prodigy. One of the latest versions is the P3. They are porportional enertia based controlers. Meaning they stop the Trailer with the same force as the TV brakes are stopping the TV. They have an accelerometer that "Feels" what the TV is doing, and reacts accordingly. They also have a boost feature that instanly applies a chosen brake percentage untill the accelerometer takes over, and applies the needed braking action. Really can't go wrong with a Prodigy.

And no. I can't spell Tecknosia. But that is the company that makes them.
