Looks perfect. What kind of controler is it? It looks pretty slick.

I looked up the specs on it. It says there's no settings neccisary. How do you like it? I am only towing a 3000lb Drag Car in an open trailer. I have had the same controler for 8 years, Just transfered it from different trucks.

the lever is the manual engagement. i love the controller. it has all the features you will need as well as electric/hydraulic if you ever get a trailer that has electric over hydraulic brakes. Tekonsha make terrific brake controllers that are relatively affordable and loaded with useful features.
