The Tekonsha Brakeman IV digital trailer brake controller provides safety and connection when you need it most. As a time-based controller, the Brakeman IV is a great choice for basic, light-duty towing needs. This compact controller works by electronically connecting your vehicle and your trailer. When you hit the brakes in your tow vehicle, it generates an output signal that ramps up, or increases over a period of time, applying braking power to your trailer at a fixed rate. The Brakeman IV has up-front buttons so you can easily adjust power output, the sync ? or aggressiveness with which the controller applies the brakes, and engage manual override to help you brake safely when an unexpected stop pops up. It also works with electric or electric over hydraulic braking systems, and features advanced internal circuit protection, real time comprehensive diagnostics, and short circuit protection. Because the Brakeman IV is a time-based controller, there?s no requirement that it be positioned in the direction of travel; it can be installed anywhere you like as long as it is within reach of the driver. Plus, the Plug & Play feature allows for quick and easy connection with your vehicle?s wiring. The Brakeman IV trailer brake controller works with1-4 axle trailers, comes with all the mounting hardware needed for installation, and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Reese Towpower delivers the towing hardware most drivers reach for: receiver hitches across multiple classes, ball mounts, hitch balls, pins, clips, safety chains, wiring and hitch accessories. Backed by a towing pedigree dating to 1952, the line uses all-welded construction and corrosion-resistant finishes, with custom-fit hitches matched to vehicle make, model and year.
The Reese story starts in 1952, when Margaret Reese challenged her husband TJ to do something about travel trailers rocking whenever anyone walked through them. A few years later he built the first pair of stabilising jacks. The idea was simple and it worked, and it changed how the RV industry thought about trailer stability. From that beginning the Reese name grew into a full towing line covering fifth wheel hitches, pin boxes, weight distribution systems and accessories, and Reese Towpower carries that engineering into the products most owners buy off the shelf.
Receiver trailer hitches anchor the range, offered across the classes needed for everything from a small utility trailer to livestock and job-site loads. Construction is all-welded rather than bolted at the stress points, and each hitch is tested against published standards for strength and safety. Custom-fit hitches are engineered to the vehicle manufacturer's weight specifications for a given model and model year, so mounting points line up with existing frame holes and the finished installation sits where it should. Exclusive paint finishes resist rust and corrosion through years of road salt, and hitches carry a nationwide limited lifetime warranty.
No towing setup is complete without the connecting hardware, and Reese Towpower covers it comprehensively. Ball mounts come in fixed, adjustable and specialty forms with a range of rises and drops to level a trailer properly. Hitch balls are offered in the standard diameters and shank sizes, matched to coupler and load rating.
The towing accessories line fills in everything else: hitch pins and clips, locks, receiver tube covers, and safety chains rated to the load being pulled. For most drivers this is where a towing purchase actually begins, and having the whole chain of components from one engineering source keeps ratings consistent end to end.

The Electric Trailer Brake Control Wiring Adapter is a connector that allows you to plug an electric trailer brake control unit into your vehicle's existing electric brake control harness. It interfaces between the brake control and the vehicle's 6-pin connector, enabling the brake control to receive power and brake signals from your vehicle.
The adapter is designed for most vehicles equipped with an electric brake control harness and a 6-pin connector. The manual provides specific harness locations for Ford Full Size Van (underneath and left of steering column), Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer (behind glove box on passenger side, or underneath and left of steering column taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal), and most other vehicles (under the dash near the center console). Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or contact the manufacturer if your vehicle is not listed.
On a Ford Full Size Van, the electric brake control harness is located underneath and to the left of the steering column.
On a Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer, the electric brake control harness is located behind the vehicle glove box on the passenger side, or it may be located underneath and to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal.
The adapter uses a 6-pin connector that mates with the 6-pin connector at the end of the vehicle's electric brake control harness.
Yes. Before installation, you must verify that battery power is supplied to the connector. Use a test light to carefully probe the connector, or follow the wires to their source to ensure they do not dead end without connections behind the instrument panel. If power is present, proceed directly to plugging in the adapter. If no power is present, you will need to use an electric brake control wiring kit to route power to the connector.
If your vehicle's electric brake control connector has no power, you must use an electric brake control wiring kit. Follow the wiring kit's installation instructions to route all wires. You will need to cut the vehicle connector's battery feed wire (leaving enough wire to reconnect using the supplied butt connector) and cut the trailer brake wire (leaving enough wire to reconnect using the supplied butt connector). Then proceed with plugging in the adapter.
1. Locate your vehicle's electric brake control harness (location varies by vehicle model). 2. Verify battery power is supplied to the connector using a test light. 3. If no power is present, use an electric brake control wiring kit to route power (cut and reconnect wires as instructed). 4. Plug the brake control adapter into the vehicle's electric brake control harness connector. 5. Follow all brake control manufacturer's installation instructions and mount the unit as directed. 6. Perform test procedures as instructed by the brake control manufacturer.
Yes. The manual cautions that you must plug the brake control adapter into the mating receptacle on the backside of the brake control before attaching it to the vehicle connector.
The adapter is rated for a maximum of 4 axles and 8 brakes at 24 amps. Do not exceed the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating or this limit. Overloading the circuit can cause fires.
Wear safety glasses and use all safety precautions during installation. Read and follow all vehicle warnings and installation instructions before beginning. Complete the installation per the electric brake control manufacturer's instructions and perform all test procedures as instructed.
Overloading the circuit can cause fires. You must not exceed the lower of your towing manufacturer's rating or the adapter's maximum of 4 axles and 8 brakes (24 amps). Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual and instruction sheet for additional information.
