trailer brake controller

Any one know of a good trailer brake controller to use? I need to be able to stop with my 6000 lb blazer on a trailer.

thanx for the input.

The best contrroller on the market is the made by Tekonsha. The Voyager is really simple to setup and works like a charm.....

I use the Reese Brake controller from Kragen. It does me just fine. It cost about $50. I usually end up towing everyone else's K5's around with my Suburban. It's not the most fancy but it's simple to use and hook up.

I got the 'Voyager' as well. It works great and the install was straight forward. I tow a 5000 lb trailer with my Jimmy.

Go with the Voyager. I tow a 7000 lb travel trailer with my short box 1/2 ton. Works great. Stay away from the brakeman style controller junk. The coolest controller i saw used input from the brake peddle. It had a cable that went from the peddle to the controller. I found it on the internet cannot rember who makes them but the idea is good. No level or gain to set.

Another vote for the Tekonsha. The one in my K5 has been trouble free for many many years.

I use a DrawTite activator II,it's solid state, small,simple to use and is good for up to 3 braking axles,The Reese Model is the same product under the reese name.I think it was about $100

Richard, I seem to recall a certain K5 that has pulled you more than once.
