Trailer Brake Controllers ??? Opinions ?

[KNOBmeister]

Hi All:

New poster here! :awais:

Need a little feedback on which Trailer Brake Controller would be best for my 2004 4Runner! ???

Have used a Reese 'Compact' on my Van and now need to get my
Toyota ready to haul my "Show Car" hauler [16' homemade with electric brakes].

Is the Reese 'Digital' controller worth the extra $$$ ???

I just tow my Miata or my CJ7 on the car hauler and want to steer clear of the inertia type of controller.

Any feedback or suggestions will be appreciated!

Prodigy!

I have the Prodigy digital controller - absolutely love it, works like a charm. The main difference with this one is a very accurate inertia sensor (comes in VERY handy if you have to stomp on the brakes for any reason).

Cost about $180CDN. (That's about $20 for you U.S. folks - grin).

I will be getting a Prodigy for my 4Runner as soon as my enclosed trailer is finished being built. A friend of mine with many years of towing experince highly recommended the Prodigy.
