Tekonsha Pro Series 80500 POD Trailer Brake Controller for 1-2 Axle Trailers, Compatible with Ford, GM, Chevy, Dodge, RAM, Toyota, Jeep, and More
Category: primus brake controller
The Pro Series POD Electric Trailer Brake Controller stands out as an excellent choice for anyone looking to tow light loads, regardless of the time of day or weather conditions. Its dark, smoky lens ensures optimal visibility, making it easy to read the large two-digit display even in direct light.
Functioning as a time-based controller, the POD brake controller connects your vehicle with the trailer electronically. When the brakes are engaged in your tow vehicle, the trailer brake control generates an output signal that gradually increases over time, applying a consistent level of braking power to the trailer. This feature is particularly beneficial for basic light-duty towing needs.
The large, dual-digit display is user-friendly, providing clear visibility of the power output and demonstrating the rate at which the brakes are applied. Additionally, safety is enhanced with the inclusion of a manual override. This feature allows you to brake safely and effectively in case of unexpected stops, giving you peace of mind while towing.
Equipped with advanced internal circuit protection, the POD ensures safe operation with real-time diagnostics as well as short circuit protection and loss of ground features. Thanks to its time-based nature, the controller can be mounted in any orientation, making installation more flexible. The Plug & Play feature simplifies this process, allowing for a quick and hassle-free connection to your vehicle’s wiring.
Designed to work with trailers that have one to two axles, the POD trailer brake controller comes complete with all the necessary mounting hardware for an easy installation. It is also backed by a limited one-year warranty, further solidifying its reliability and value.
TIME-DELAYED DIGITAL BRAKE CONTROLLER: The POD applies braking power that gradually increases at a fixed rate over a specified period, making it a perfect solution for basic light-duty towing requirements.
EASY INSTALLATION: With a Plug & Play connection feature, the Pro Series POD trailer brake controller can be easily installed. As a time-based controller, it offers the flexibility to be mounted above or below the dashboard and in any direction, provided it remains within the driver’s reach.
CLEAR INDICATOR DISPLAY: This electric brake controller features an LED display that communicates both power output and diagnostic information about the trailer and brake controller connection.
MANUAL BRAKING OPTION: In instances where manual braking is needed, simply adjust the manual control lever to the left. The POD will apply power to your trailer’s brakes, corresponding to the power setting previously configured.
COMPATIBLE VEHICLES: The Pro Series POD is compatible with a variety of vehicles including Ford, GM, Chevy, Dodge, RAM, Toyota, Jeep, and many more, suitable for both two and four-brake systems on one to two-axle trailers. Note that a vehicle-specific Tekonsha Plug & Play brake controller wiring harness is sold separately.
In summary, if you're seeking a reliable, easy-to-install, and user-friendly brake controller to facilitate smooth and safe towing of light loads, the Pro Series POD Electric Trailer Brake Controller is a fantastic choice.
