I would have to say the Drawtite Activator II with digital read out. The only way to go. Never any problems. I've installed about 5 so far on different trucks.

There is only 1 that we have had for generations. Here in hardee we are big into farming and are always hooked to gooseneck trailers. Redline is the box for us.

I had a Prodigy and it went bad on me. I called Tekonsha and found out that all their controllers carry a Lifetime Warranty. They sent me a P3 as a replacement and it works great also. It is basically a Prodigy with some really cool new features.

P3

I got it free as a Warranty replacement for the Prodigy. At the time (year and a half ago) they were around $120. Probably have come down a little since then.

One of the features I really like about it, is it can tell me how many volts my truck is charging at and exactly how many volts it is sending to the brakes down to the nearest tenth of a volt.
