Built to match the Tekonsha 90160 Primus IQ footprint, the unit accepts 2-, 4- or 6-brake trailer loads and offers multiple mounting choices so you can position it for convenient access in most trucks and SUVs. Note that vehicle-specific plug-and-play harnesses are not included; hardwiring or purchasing the correct harness separately may be required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this controller improve towing safety?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe controller senses vehicle deceleration and applies trailer braking in proportion to the tow vehicle’s braking force, giving smoother stops and reducing trailer sway or jerking.
