Hi Cosmo,

You can get the new old style that orperates on hydraulic pressure, sending via the new electronic wiring system. Called Brake Smart and sells for about $400 on the street with the install kit.

The Prodigy is a inertia based controller, has a pendelum that senses the deaceleration and applys trailer braking before you apply brake pedal. Can not be mounted more than 70º off level, About $125.

Then the Jordan BC that is inertia based but adds a cable too the brake pedal to sense quicker deaceleration. About $250. Can not be mounted more than 70º off level.

I use a straight electronic brake controller, time based, non-inertia, as I have it mounted on my gear shift lever. Doesn't matter how you mount it. What it does is lets me manual control my trailer brakes with my finger. Will keep the trailer behind you if you dynomite the brakes as it also has a time based reaction.

Trailer brakes are cheaper than tow vechile brakes plus I have more control over my trailer with manual control under all conditions. Will control 4 brake axles with applied brake control (adjustment wheel), proper connection (LED), and shorted brakes (LED). About $50 made by Redline.
