There are two types of these controllers, time-delay and proportional. Inertia controllers use both an electric connection to the brake switch and a built-in inertia gauge that meters out the braking power. These provide smooth braking response as the controller reacts just like the vehicle; if you stomp on the brakes, the trailer brakes are instantly applied. If you are gently cruising to a stop, the trailer brakes are not used much if any. The end result is better braking efficiency. The installation of proportional controllers is more difficult, as they must be mounted within specific angles and be tuned to the vehicle. They also cost more.
Time-delay controllers apply the trailer brakes in the same manner every time, with an adjustable delay between when the brake pedal is pressed and when the trailer brakes are applied. This is adjustable through the gain setting for road conditions, load, and the driver’s preference. These controllers are cheaper, easier to install and to use.
Both types of controllers have a button or slider to instantly apply the brakes to the trailer. That means you can slow the entire caravan down with just the trailer brakes. This is good for emergency situations such as whipping.
Installing a trailer brake controller is not difficult. In fact, it took less than an hour to complete the task on a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500. We picked up a NAPA Impulse time-delay controller from our local NAPA Auto Parts Store, along with a NAPA plug-n-play harness and got to work. Because the Silverado had the factory-installed tow package, this was a simple plug-in operation. Had the truck not been equipped with the tow package, we would have needed to add a jumper wire for the power source for the controller and connected a couple of wires in the rear of the vehicle at the trailer plug. Most tow-capable vehicles have the wiring readily available, it just might not be connected.
