    Very nice brake controller! Have had others in the past, but I really like how this one mounts. It’s also a little more sleek than ones I’ve had in the past, which is nice. My knees never touch this thing getting in and out of the truck. Installed in a 24 Ram 1500. Instead of spending OEM money. Works perfect.

      Works great. Super easy to install, like took me 10 minutes and a screwdriver. It was easy to adjust and you can mount it out of the way. It has good safety features such and the slide break and is thin and looks nice so you’re not bumping your knee on it. It is hardwired and easy to connect. Great buy for the price. The RV place wanted me to pay hundreds of dollars to install a break controller. Bought this and took 20 minutes to do it myself.

      I bought this controller for my 1992 F150. My truck had a plug down to the left below the ashtray that fit the "CURT 51312 Quick Plug Electric Trailer Brake Controller Wiring Harness" found here on Amazon. This controller was a direct fit to that wiring harness, so I chose it. I am building a trailer and after re-wiring the back of my truck and the trailer, I was very satisfied with the results: trailer lights, turn signals and brakes all worked! This Curt 51116 controller is easy to understand and I was able to adjust the brakes so that the trailer does not skid in gravel, but comes to a stop in-synch with my truck. It was a huge achievement for me, since I had never done anything like it. Thanks Curt and Amazon!
