with hydraulic brakes. i prefered the hydraulic to electric because electric leaves a lot to human error....not enough adjustment and you put premature wear on your truck brakes....to much brake and you put premature wear on your trailer brakes. based on the gvwr of the trailer (10,400 pounds) i had several friends insist that i drop the hydraulic surge brakes (in favor of electric brakes) and i was able to make the change before the trailer was built. now that im going with electric brakes i need to shop around for an electric brake controller. id like to find one that is "intelligent"....something that will automatically adjust the amount of braking on demand (if such a creature exists at a reasonable cost). since my wife knows nothing about trailer brakes i need something that can do the thinking for her, so that she can just hook up and drive. im seeking recommendations for a controller, and the reasons why your recommendations are better than the other guys recommendations.thanks!
