As an industry staple for more than ten years, this electronic brake controller kit provides a smooth braking response in any stopping situation. With its petite yet durable exterior, this electric brake controller fits nicely under the dash, making it easily accessible from the driver’s seat without being in the way. This insightful digital trailer brake controller has an easy-to-read LED display, self-diagnostic check to monitor your connection and trailer braking activity and is self-leveling when mounted within a 90-degree vertical range, so there’s no need to adjust the unit once it’s installed. The electric trailer brake controller also features a power output knob to set your desired braking power, a boost option that lets you apply up quickly and easily to three levels of additional trailer braking power, especially when hauling heavier loads, and manual override. The Primus IQ electric brake controller for trailer was created to work with electric braking systems, works proportionally in reverse to make backing into tough spots a bit easier, and - like the Prodigy P3, Prodigy P2, and many other Tekonsha brake controllers, utilizes primary sensor technology to ensure the smoothest stop possible. When you’re done towing, the IQ’s snap-in dash mounting clip, Plug & Play port for two plug adapters, and removeable electrical connector allow the unit to be quickly stored. The Primus IQ brake controller works with trailers with 1-3 axles, comes with all necessary mounting hardware, and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Review: Reliable, Easy-to-Install Brake Controller That Works Perfectly - 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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly! *by R***R on July 27, 2026* Easy install. Works great! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for my Jeep Gladiator. *by F***M on March 7, 2021* First, I don’t like the brake controllers that are basically just a knob which integrates into the dash. I don’t like giving up a power port or dash storage in order to fit something like that in. That brings me to the Tekonsha. It had great reviews and so I went with it. Installation was easy but I wish they had included something besides those aggravating flat screws. Lol. Connection was completely plug and play with their Jeep wiring harness that I bought separately. It all works perfectly and seems to nicely match the level of braking between my truck and my travel trailer. The trailer will slow or stop the truck by itself if I press the manual button, but when I press the brake pedal everything responds accordingly as it should. An LED readout shows the level of braking power at a given time. There’s going to be a little adjustment period where you’ll be tweaking the brakes’ timing and sensitivity. It’s the easiest thing to install ever. I like the plastic multi position bracket. It allows me to push it flat against the dash when I am not towing. It fits nicely in my Jeep Gladiator. I chose to put it under the steering wheel next to my right knee. I can look down and easily see it but it isn’t in my way. In summary it does exactly what it is supposed to do, and I’m happy that I chose it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tekonsha 90160 Primus IQ, Proportional Brake Controller for Trailers with 1-3 Axles, compatible with Ford, GM, Chevy, Dodge, RAM, Toyota, Jeep.
