User questions & answers

Question:	Will a standard Bearing buddy (1.98") work with these
Answer:	If you need 2 inch brakes there the same. Not sure about the part number
Question:	Do these come with the backing plate mounting hardware or what size nuts and bolts are needed
Answer:	Yes. The assemblies are available on Amazon or etrailer dot com, but etrailer is more expensive.
Question:	Will this fit AL-KO axles
Answer:	The trailer brakes are NOT self adjusting, unlike most drum brakes on cars and trucks. There is however some "give" with an electric braking system on trailers. The adjustment is pretty simple and need to be done when installed and periodically thereafter. To Adjust: the bottom side of the drum brakes between the brake shoes you should see the "Adjuster" with a spring between the two shoes- This screwed wheel is your adjuster. It will need to be manually adjusted on install- to do that remove the rubber plug on the back side of the Backing plate and using a large flat tip screw driver or brake show adjuster tool and rotate while spinning the Drum until it stops the drum. Then Back the adjuster off just a little until the drum spins easily again. Replace the rubber plug. Do this for all Electric Brake units.
Question:	Will this fit a Tractor Supply Company 3500lb axle
Answer:	My axle was a 12” hub by 2” wide brake pads. The brake housing has a center hole that you need to measure along with how many nuts that it takes to mount. Mine took 5 some take 4. As you look for the new brake assembly you will need to know the details to make sure you get the correct brake assembly. Hope that helps you.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are these self adjusting
Answer:	Not sure but they are very well made, and just like the OEM.
Question:	Are they water proof, will they work on boat trailer
Answer:	Yes should fit right on there.
Question:	exact brake size are they 10" by 2" or 10" by
Answer:	sorry, you don't order from customers. But I would venture to guess that if you order a set of two and a set of four, you should end up with somewhere close to six....
Question:	What is the inner and outer bearing sizes
Answer:	The one I took off looked exactly the same. two black wires. From the trailer you have a common & power. Just hook the white to one black & the red to the other black. The magnet on the brake energizes when power is sent.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference between this drawtite 5535 and the reese-towpower-8508211-proportional-brake-evn
Answer:	Same company Horizon Global has both brands among others. These are similar controllers. Key will be to check compatibility and wiring cable match to your specific vehicle. Their technical support is very helpful in answering on line questions. I’d recommend you submit.
Question:	Does this come with the mating connector
Answer:	No it doesn't. You have to order it. It comes with standard connector and then you need to purchase connector or splice it in.
Question:	Will this work on a Chevy 2018 Traverse
Answer:	I really don’t know if it does, it work on my Chevy Silverado
Question:	The "gain" control is adjustable from 0 - 10 in 0.1 increments (vs the "boost"). How is the "gain" is set for a particular load
Answer:	The basic answer is you set up your trailer empty and do a couple of 40mph stops, adjusting the gain until the trailer stops smoothly with no 'jerking' and no tire lock up. That is your 'empty' setting. Then, load up the trailer with what you will normally be carrying, and see if the trailer stops good. It should not lock up (obviously), but will also probably take longer to stop and 'push' the tow vehicle. Now hit Boost 1 and check again. Do it again with B2 and B3. The Boost setting that gives you the shortest stopping distance WITHOUT lock up or 'pushing/jerking' is the setting you want to use as your 'loaded' setting. If you cant find a good Boost setting, adjust your Gain up or down a little and test again. Keep going until you have a good smooth stop with both an empty trailer and no Boost, and loaded trailer with Boost. Heres the 'manual', such as it is: http://www.draw-tite.com/support/installation/N5535.pdf

User questions & answers

Question:	How long is the warranty
Answer:	No this is not plug and play on a 1995 GM full sized truck.

Product description

The TriFlex proportion-based brake controller features a compact size, a digital display and the ability to manage up to eight brakes at a time. The feature that sets the TriFlex apart from many others is its triple-axis motion-sensing accelerometer. This integrated circuit component allows the TriFlex to detect every motion of your vehicle and trailer with exact precision and to then apply the perfect amount of braking power for every situation. The TriFlex also automatically adjusts brake output when going up or down a hill and is compatible with anti-lock brakes and cruise control. It comes with a mounting bracket and hardware and can be mounted at various angles on your vehicle's dash. Best of all, like other CURT brake controllers, the TriFlex is protected by a limited lifetime warranty. This CURT trailer brake controller is designed to work with quick plugs so it can readily plug into your vehicle's original equipment socket. It also includes a mounting bracket and hardware for easy installation. A brake controller should be mounted somewhere on the dash of your vehicle, and we recommend putting it below the steering wheel, either on the right or left side of the steering column. This way the control will not block your view when driving, but it will remain accessible and visible when adjustment is needed.

User questions & answers

Question:	What adapter cable is required for a 2002 Suburban 3.5l 4x
Answer:	it's not so much an issue of fitting as much as making sure you get the right wiring harness for your truck which is normally sold separate from this unit. So just do a search for your trucks harness. You can even go to the manufacturers website and look up the right harness model number then search for it on Amazon. Great unit you'll love it.
Question:	I have a 2013 silverado 1500 lt. has factory towing package. do i need an additional harness? how do i found out which one if so
Answer:	Manufacture states power draw is so low (3.6 milliamps when not in use) that it would take 3-4 months to drain battery if allowed to sit without starting. Then would be the time they would recommend disconnecting unit from vehicle wiring.
Question:	Does it have a digital read out to tell you what degree it's currently adjusted to
Answer:	Most electric brakes will not "engage" when driving in reverse. The magnets will still grab, yes, but the camming action that forces the shoes to the drums is reversed and thus should not cause any issues.
Question:	is this unit "proportional" or "timed
Answer:	It comes with a pigtail that plugs into back of unit and stranded wires on the other end to hook up to the car. If you have a newer vehicle that is prewired for electric brakes, you can purchase a pigtail to plug into the prewired side plug. My vehicle came with that pigtail in the glove box when I bought it.

CURT Electrical Trailer Brake Controllers

CURT offers several different trailer brake controller models to provide you with a solution that fits your unique towing setup and budget. We carry time-based and inertia-based or proportional brake controllers.

All CURT trailer brake controllers are designed for easy installation. Most use our quick plug harnesses, and each comes with its own set of features and benefits.

For a helpful guide in selecting a brake controller, see below.

Two types of brake controllers:

CURT electric brake controllers fall into one of two categories: inertia-based or time-based. These refer to the method of activation used by the brake controller. Both types are safe and effective for stopping a trailer. However, depending on your needs, one may be preferred over the other.

Inertia-based

Inertia-based or proportional trailer brake controllers use an electronic mechanism, called an accelerometer, to detect the momentum of the vehicle-trailer combination while braking. The controller accentuates the trailer brakes in proportion to the momentum, allowing for a smooth, highly efficient stop.

Time-based

Time-based activation is less complex than inertia-based. When stopping, a time-based brake controller accentuates the trailer brakes based on whatever gain setting is input by the driver. Although simple in operation, time-based trailer brake controllers are effective and provide a more budget-friendly option.

Heavy-duty towing

If you are towing a heavy trailer or cargo, an inertia-based brake controller will provide superior control to make smoother stops and to put less strain on your vehicle.

Light-duty towing

If you’re towing a simple boat trailer or popup camper, a time-based trailer brake controller may be sufficient. CURT time-based controllers are easily adjustable for varying loads.

Frequent towing

If you’re planning to tow often, an inertia-based brake controller is recommended. The sophisticated operation will help prolong the life of your vehicle and trailer.

Occasional towing

If you only plan to tow a few times a year, such as for family camping trips during the summer, a time-based brake controller is an effective and budget-conscious option.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do I determine what size I need
Answer:	The hub face will not change by adding brakes, it will be the same as your idler hub.
Question:	My trailer bolt pattern is 5 on 5. Will this work
Answer:	Not positive, but believe they were.
Question:	hello , is this model self adjusting
Answer:	There could be a dozen reasons for this? Assuming everything worked correctly before the install? The brakes may take a few trips “around the block” to expand to the point where they are grabbing sufficiently. You could jack up one side of the trailer axle and have someone apply the brakes in vehicle and see if it is grabbing the trailer wheel?
Question:	Whats the center bore on these. I want to use bearing buddy. Will they fit
Answer:	Yes they work on my escourt trailer with dual wheel (4) for my bayliner 2352 capri

User questions & answers

Question:	Do I need to buy the pigtail for it to fit my 06dodge ram
Answer:	Just type in your 2002 Suburban and Amazon will put the one you need right there. That is what I did and it was perfect plugged right in. Easy as that
Question:	Is there an off and on switch or does LED indicator stay on all the time
Answer:	After 2006, Chevrolet stopped putting a terminal connector on the wire harness for the brake controller. Curt makes a “universal” harness connector that you can use to connect the controller to the truck harness. It is really very easy. Check YouTube for a video. I’m sure someone has done a video for your truck. Sorry, I don’t know the Curt part number for that universal harness but it is less than $10. I bet Amazon will List this harness as an add on if you go to the purchase page for the controller. Be sure to specify your truck info.
Question:	What is the dimensions of this unit (height, width, length front to back
Answer:	Yes, it has a knob on top and a sensitivity bottom on side. The unit will also automatically sense if you need more trailer braking on emergency stops. If you have it set on 3.0 and you are only using 2.2 , it will automatically go to 3.0 if needed. It is a nice unit. Pulling 20 ft. Enclosed with Chevy Duramax.
Question:	Why does Amazon say it won't fit my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK, aren't they all fairly universal? Or is it just because I don't have a factory harness
Answer:	Proportional..the internal 'tri axis' sensor varies the intensity of electrical brake output dependent on vehicle motion.

Product description

The CURT Echo mobile trailer brake controller is a Bluetooth-enabled device that wirelessly connects to your smartphone and allows you to control and monitor all trailer brake activity right from your device. It features a simple, plug-and-play installation, a portable design to easily switch between vehicles and a highly durable construction to outlast the elements. The Echo brake controller brings your towing experience into the modern age. Powered by Bluetooth, it wirelessly connects to your smartphone without any extra wiring harnesses or modules required. Simply download the Smart Control app on your Apple iOS or Android OS device, plug the Echo into your vehicle and you're ready to start towing. The app allows you to create multiple vehicle-trailer profiles for different towing situations. Installing the Echo trailer brake controller is truly a plug-and-play experience. It is designed to insert in between the vehicle-trailer wiring connection and is compatible with any industry-standard 7-way RV blade plug. This design also allows the Echo to be easily transferred between vehicles, making it perfect for fleet vehicles or multiple-vehicle owners. The Echo mobile trailer brake controller is built to withstand the outdoor elements, whether you're towing through rain, snow or sunshine. It features a potted enclosure. This means the interior of the Echo is filled with an epoxy resin that covers the internal electronics and seals them off from dirt and moisture. This promotes long-lasting durability and also helps reduce vibration. To further enhance the connection, the connector port of the Echo is equipped with a retention strap and locking tab to firmly seat in the 7-way vehicle socket. The CURT Echo mobile brake controller operates with a tri-axis circuit for smooth stops going up or down a hill, and it is able to operate up to two to four trailer brakes at a time (one to two axles). It is also compatible with cruise control and ABS brakes.

• PORTABLE. The Echo trailer brake controller has a non-invasive install and is easily transferrable from one vehicle to another. It plugs into any 7-way connector, wirelessly links to your smartphone using Bluetooth
• SMARTPHONE-READY. The Echo brake controller wirelessly syncs with Apple or Android smartphone, turning it into a brake controller interface with the Smart Control app (Warning: Avoid distracted driving. Only make adjustments when vehicle is stationary)
• ZERO-TOOL INSTALL. Installing this aftermarket trailer brake controller is as easy as plugging in a 7-way trailer wiring connector. It requires no tools, no extra wires and no hardware. A locking tab and strap keep it firmly connected
• HIGHLY RESPONSIVE. Echo uses a triple-axis accelerometer to provide smooth, safe braking. It maintains responsive braking, even when your phone screen is locked, receives incoming calls or if the Bluetooth connection is lost
• VERSATILE. This electronic trailer brake controller easily transfers between vehicles and trailers and works on virtually any trailer with 1 to 2 axles (2 to 4 brakes). It is also fully compatible with cruise control, anti-lock brakes, low-voltage systems

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work with adaptive cruise control
Answer:	The unit will fit, but you need to check to see what cable is correct for your Toyota.

I had to hard wire my own plug that came with the kit. One wire I did not have to use. Out of the five wires I only had to use 4 of them. The lady email me instruction for my 2008 Chevy 1500. She is very helpful. I tow a toy hauler with two motorcycle. Three setting plus to go to manual setting which I like. Plus there is a button on the right that I use like a trolly brake. (Use to drive a tractor). With that button, slowly pushing on it, I was using just the trailer to stop me or to straighten out the trailer if it sway.
