Side by Side Comparison of: Reese Towpower

Easy to install and one of the best ones I've used. The sensitivity goes much lower than more expensive units I've tried. Great quality. I'd buy again

was on time worked as decribed

So far, so good

Excellent!

I occasionally tow campers or boats as a side job. This brake controller gets the job done 100%. No problems yet and I will update if any arise.

I purchased the Reese Towpower based on previous reviews and price. I have brake controllers in four other vehicles and I love this one. I never tow anything more than 2 axle (except for with my F350) and this controller works great in my Excursion. Excellent buy - I would purchase again if needed.

works great. if you are only going to pull one trailer, this will do the job very well. But if you have several get a digital

plugs in if your truck has the tow package, fits inside dash looks factory. works very well

works well with travel trailer, is very sensitive setting brake pressure.

It works as advertised. All I needed was some small electrical connectors, to plug into the back of the unit.

Cheap and stops a trailer. Job complete.

Works great!

Just got it tonight, it has wires out of the controller to a 4 pin custom connector. I have a harness for my truck but I guess I will have to cut off the connector and splice the wires together. I guess I had hoped for them to already end in something I could splice into an existing harness.

Works intermittently, may be the trucks wiring

this would be my second one of there they do there job but 3 starts for this one due to missing screws

CAUTION: MUST ORDER ADAPTER I have 2002 f250 7.3 Amazon said it'll fit my vehicle which it does NOT without wire adapter. Other then that very simple and effective productWhat you see is everything that is included

I haven't had time to test it but looks like it will work.

Haven't hooked it up yet but when I opened the package I realized it didn't even come with the screws to hold the mount to the unit...I figured that would be with it at least.

Bought it and installed it, it worked sometimes for about a week then turned off one day and never turned back on

Installation was easy, no issues with that. The problem I have is how it applies the brakes to the trailer. There is no gradual application of the brakes with this controller, It only applies them in steps so you really feel when the brakes are applied to the trailer (especially at low speeds). It also applies the brakes very strong; even at the medium setting with a enclosed fully loaded 16' trailer, the brakes locked up when applied. I had to put it to one of the lowest settings for it not to lock up.

Even after using the does this fit my car information and being told it does fit my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500, it doesn't without a wiring adaptor from Reese part number 22281. The information on this item said just plug it in and it will work. This is not possible with the connector on the unit.Amazon needs to review the other controllers for missing or misleading information.

I ordered this unit specifically because it is supposed to be plug and play with my Nissan Frontier. I read through ALL of the reviews and questions and was reasonably confident that this unit should plug right in and work. Instead of arriving with a wiring harness matching my truck it arrived with just pigtails (no connector at all). The wires had divits in them that were obviously from a connector having been attached to them at one point in the past which was subsequently removed. This makes me suspect that this unit was actually returned to the manufacturer and then sold to me (I did not order a referb unit, I paid for new). From reading other reviews on this product it seem like a very common occurrence to either not have a connector or to not have the advertised connector, so be ware. It seems like Reese has very sloppy inventory control and ships you "something" close to what you asked for. So I spent yet more money to buy a matching harness and crimped it to the pigtails. The unit is now installed in the truck. As I've also read in the reviews, there's no indication that the unit is powered or even functional unless a trailer is attached. So again, be ware. Since I don't pick up the trailer until 2 days before our vacation I won't know if I did the wiring correctly or even know if the (possibly referb) unit is even functional until it will be too late to return it. I may just be going without brakes on our vacation. In that case anyone who wants this unit can find it somewhere in a ditch next to I84 between Portland and Boise.

Controller didn't work. I missed the 30 day return window by 2 days.

It didn't work.
