Primus IQ

The Tekonsha 90160 Primus IQ Brake Controller is an excellent trailer brake controller and a great value for the money. Installation was straightforward, especially with the plug-and-play wiring harness, and the unit mounted cleanly under the dash. What I really like is how smooth and responsive the proportional braking is. The controller automatically applies trailer brakes based on how hard you press the vehicle’s brakes, which makes towing feel much safer and more controlled.  The LED display is easy to read, and the diagnostics help confirm the trailer connection and braking activity. The boost feature is also very useful when towing heavier loads because it adds extra braking power when needed.  Overall, this controller is reliable, simple to set up, and works exactly as advertised. If you’re towing a trailer with electric brakes, the Primus IQ is a dependable choice that delivers smooth braking and great peace of mind on the road. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Installed on a 2021 F150 XLT. Works as it should with great, easy to use adjustability. Been using Tekonsha products for years and they've never let me down. During transit, the wiring on my trailer wore a hole and split a couple wires. The unit alerted me to the issue. I repaired the wiring and away we went. Much better peace of mind than an analog unit. The only issue I had was where to mount it. You need to consider this before purchase. The screen is only viewable from above the unit. If mounted at an angle on the lower dash, understand you may not be able to see the screen.

Connected right up to the wire harness in my truck with the appropriate wire kit. Took about 5 minutes to install. Simple and works great so far. Ive had it for about a year or so now. Bought it back in i think march of 25'

Install was simple and instructions are clear and install took about 45 minutes with the wiring harness that is made for my truck. Tested on my cargo trailer and it works great. I highly recommend this controller

Works great. proportional braking is great. It knows if the vehicle is slowing even without applying the brake. It also knows if you are going uphill or downhill (I think). My vehicle did not have a factory plug in so I had to manually wire the pig tail. But the pig tail was just a tad shorter than I needed. Frustrating to splice just a short length of wire to make it reach. It is nice and small. my knee doesn't hit it and I mounted it where I could see the displace and reach it.

Good looking and working controller. I put it in my 17 Durango hard wired. Used today for the first time on a 5hr trip and it worked great.

These brake controllers hit the sweet spot of price and performance. All the more expensive controllers give you are generally pointless options (multiple trailers, 360 mounting, fancy screen, etc). Even people like me with multiple trailers and vehicles will probably NEVER use any of these extra features. In the end, they just waste your money and make the brake controller more complicated to use. This controller functions exactly as one should. With no trailer, you don't even notice it's there. The display isn't intrusive, and completely shuts off aside from a small, dim light to let you know it still works. With a trailer, it just works. The controls are simple, the boost functions are easy to use and understand, and the adjustability is straightforward. Installation is as easy as any other brake controller, and at 70 degrees you'd be hard pressed to find a spot it won't work in. Braking action is smooth and consistent, and the manual override works as it should. The display tells you whether it's connected, and how much power it's feeding to the brakes, and that's about it. Fantastically simple and effective. Long story short, I already installed 3 of them in 3 separate vehicles, and we just purchased an '03 Explorer that will be the fourth. We use this mainly for a 3 horse slant.

Installed this brake controller on a 2000 F350 Powerstroke. It took about 5 minutes, very easy to do. Hooked it up to my dump trailer and tuned it. It works very well. I used this aftermarket wiring harness>>https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09HTSV4LF?ref=fed_asin_title Definitely recommend.

Zero issues with the controller, was probably the easiest installation I've done given my Ford had all the wiring tucked behind the driver side left kick panel, literally. NOTE: this only applies if you have the trailer tow package pre-installed from the factory, if you don't the wires may not be provisioned and additional wiring may be required. Always check with the mfg of the tow vehicle and the RV dealer. I simply had to pop off the panel and the wire was there, the only thing I did was pull it up into the wiring area just below the dash, mounted the controller with the hardware there above my left knee (some say don't do it in the event of an accident, I'm going against that due to accidents will provide you with other issues), and it's far enough away and to the left I can fully see it and I don't want to be looking at it after it's set up for my trailer. Set up of the controller ..took all of 7-minutes (3min to read the instructions), after the trailer is hooked up, adjust the amount of signal being sent to the trailer brakes, do a pull test and adjust/set. These are now pretty straight forward but if you don't want to install it when you buy your trailer/RV, the dealer can do it for about $50-$100 ish. Tekonsha has been in the business of brake controller and other electronics for years, sure there are others but when it comes to stopping, I trust this brand.

He cambiado un Hopkins por el tekonsha y mejoro bastante, excelente compra

Pretty cool product, I’ve used for approximately 5 tows so far and it works nicely. I like being able to pinch the side button and activate the trailer brakes only. The different boost levels are obviously calibrated properly, after testing. Very pleased so far - exactly what I needed.

I plugged this into my 2012 Range Rover HSE sport and it works as intended towing my trailer, direct plug and play with the factory harness under the steering wheel with the appropriate harness purchased separate. I'm sure towing pro's will say it's a bit jerky but for an amateur like me this does just fine, it made the trailer work it's own brakes and felt smooth once I got it dialed in.

Worked as expected... no surprises... and that’s a good thing! Also, install was easy. I used the OEM harness that came with my Ram & connectors to the harness in the box. I had no need for the after market harness. One disappointment, amazon 2 day shipping was more like 5 days, but they refunded the difference.
