HOW TO SELECT A BRAKE CONTROL HOW TO SELECT A BRAKE CONTROL

There are two basic types of brake controls. Inertia-based brake controls use accelerometers to measure the change in velocity or inertia of the tow vehicle when braking. Time-based brake controls apply a steadily increasing amount of brake power, based on the gain setting and sensitivity adjustment specified by the driver. There are two basic types of brake controls.

If your customer is planning to tow more than twice a year, the precision of an inertia-based brake control will help protect the life of the vehicle and trailer. If your customer is planning to tow more than twice a year, the precision of an in rtia-based brake control will help protect the life of the vehicle and trailer. If your customer will only tow once or twice a year, they may prefer the simplicity and relatively lower cost of a time-based control. Time-based controls also require very little effort to set up.

An inertia-based brake control is ideal for towing heavy or fragile cargo. It will perform much smoother stops, resulting in less stress on the cargo and on the vehicle.

If your customer is planning to tow a relatively lightweight trailer, a time-based brake control may be sufficient. CURT's time-based controls are more budget-friendly and perform well with lighter loads.
