5.0 out of 5 stars Tekonsha for the Long Haul!, December 26, 2010
This review is from: Tekonsha 90195 P3 Electronic Brake Control (Automotive)
Consider this... The combine cost of your tow vehicle and trailer... The combine weight of your tow vehicle and trailer... The fact that your trailer may well weigh more than your tow vehicle... And that moron that just jumped in your lane then slammed on his brakes... This is NOT the time to think to yourself, "maybe I should've gotten a better brake controller." Seriously, when the difference in cost is under $100, is it really not worth buying the best?

I've used the Tekonsha P3 for two and half years now and I have nothing but praises to sing! Features, user friendliness, and results! This unit has it all. First lets talk about the mechanism. It uses a digital G-Sensor as apposed to a physical pendulem. Why is this a benifit? Because there are no downhill issues that you see with the physical and analog type sensors. Prior to digial sensors, the downhill slope would throw off the pendulem and the brake controller either would send a weaker current to the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars P-3 and the Big Trip, April 15, 2008
I bought the P3 just prior to a trip to Florida hauling a large dual axle trailer with a 2007 Toyota Tundra. I also bought the wiring harness for the P3 which was designed for the already installed factory towing package.
The brake controller arrived by UPS the day prior to my trip and I took it out to the truck to install and quite frankly spent more time trying to figure out where I wanted to put it than it took to setup. After mounting the controller with the supplied bracket I backed up to the trailer and plugged the trailer in and followed the directions to set up the brakes.
Everything worked as advertized and it handled the trailer quite well. When loaded for the backhaul to Grand Rapids, the trailer was 10k+ pounds. The trip went well and I used both the proportional and the manual settings to see how they worked. Again I was pleasantly surprised as it worked as advertized and there was not much of a learning curve. There were numerous options such as lighting and... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Brake Controller, May 7, 2008

This review is from: Tekonsha 90195 P3 Electronic Brake Control (Automotive)
First, this is a great unit and rock solid at brake control. I upgraded from a Tekonsha Prodigy. It's Simple! Just removed the older unit (Prodigy) from it's existing bracket, unplugged the existing wiring plug, plugged in the P-3. I slid the P-3 into the old bracket and inserted the 2 screws. It's installed.

Then I just adjusted the P-3 per the included operating instructions. It could not have been simpler.

Starting from scratch? About an hours work and the instructions are all there. Most newer trucks come with a trailer harness for a controller. My 06 Chev 2500HD did. However there are instructions for installing it without a dealer supplied harness as well.

Highly recommend this unit vs. others.

Update: This is a great unit. BUT, other than an LCD screen to provide additional info for the user, the ability to control the braking action is no better/ no worse than the Prodigy I replaced. I still highly recommend the unit but... Read more
