Understanding Brake Controller Kits

Why You Need a Brake Controller Kit

A trailer brake controller helps regulate braking force between your vehicle and the trailer, ensuring smooth stops and preventing dangerous situations like jackknifing. Without a proper connection, your trailer's brakes won't function correctly, putting extra strain on your vehicle's braking system.

Types of Brake Controller Kits

Different kits cater to various vehicle setups:

  • 4-Way to 7-Way Upgrade (BCWBC): Perfect if you have a 4-way flat connector and need to add a brake controller.
  • Complete 4-Way + 7-Way Kit (BCW4WAY): Ideal for vehicles without existing connections but with a brake controller.
  • Full System Kit (BCWBC4WAY): Complete solution for vehicles needing both connections and a brake controller.

Key Features to Consider

  • Compatibility with existing connections
  • Number of trailer axles supported
  • Ease of installation
  • Additional functionality needed
