Hi Tom, Depends on how you want to use your trailer brakes. I like manualy applying my trailer brakes so I bought a no frills controler ($39) and mounted it on my gear shift. This one can be mounted in any position as most can only handle 70º verticle. This keeps my truck brakes fresh and it is cheaper to repair the trailer brakes than the truck brakes, yet in a panic stop the trailer will stay behind me from the controler auto feature. Controlers are rated on the number of brakes per axle so I buy a 6 to 8 brake controler for a tandum axle trailer as they seam to last longer. Most have a adjustment wheel that you can turn down for less brake axles but you can't turn them up if you need more braking like buying the 4 brake axle controler. The newest BC goes back to being like the old Kelsy-Hayes as it also ties into the truck brake hydraulics. $400 smackers with the install kit. T_Bone
