CURT Discovery Electric Trailer Brake Controller, Time-Delay, Black

It takes significant power to stop a moving trailer, particularly when the trailer is transporting a heavy load. Manufacturers typically install trailer brakes on RVs, flatbeds, livestock trailers, and various other oversized haulers to assist the tow vehicle in bringing such a substantial amount of weight to a halt. However, a good set of brakes alone is not enough to ensure quick, efficient stops. It requires precision and the right level of control.

The Discovery brake controller is a time-based device, meaning it applies increasing brake pressure as the driver's foot remains on the brake pedal. This pressure is determined by the gain setting and sensitivity adjustment set by the user. The Discovery features a digital display for easy monitoring and the ability to manage up to four axles simultaneously. It can be mounted at any angle, anywhere in the vehicle, and comes with an automatic power level adjustment feature to help the driver stay focused on their driving and spend less time worrying about their trailer brakes.

All CURT brake controls are designed to work with quick plugs, allowing them to be readily plugged into the vehicle's original equipment socket. They also include a mounting bracket and hardware for easy installation. The brake controller should be mounted on the dash of the vehicle, preferably below the steering wheel, either on the right or left side of the steering column. This positioning ensures that the control does not obstruct the driver's view while driving, but remains accessible and visible when adjustments are needed.

The Discovery electric trailer brake controller offers reliable and safe operation, increasing the trailer brake pressure as the vehicle's brake pedal is depressed, resulting in a smooth stop for both the vehicle and the trailer. It features an easy-to-read, digital display to monitor brake operation and a simple, reliable design with no internal moving parts and no leveling required.

The powerful yet straightforward controls of the Discovery brake controller enable effective brake operation, including a manual brake slider button, an adjustable power toggle, and adjustable ramp time. This electric trailer brake controller can be used on virtually any trailer with 1 to 4 axles (2 to 8 brakes), making it a versatile choice. It is compatible with low-volt, PWM, ABS, cruise control, and electric over hydraulic systems.

Setting up the Discovery brake controller is a simple process. It quickly plugs into the vehicle using a CURT vehicle-specific quick plug harness (sold separately) and comes with an adjustable mounting bracket, allowing it to be installed at any angle.
