Default Brake Controller ??

Anyone use the Hopkins Agility brake controller? Likes/dislikes? I'm driving a 2002 F150 KR 5.4L

I do not have that brand, I have the Tekonsha Voyager brake controller and am more than happy with its performance so far. I have had it for a couple of years and it works fine for my 20' travel trailer.

Cool. I have heard pretty good things about the Tekonsha brand. But I don't know if I want to pay all that money for something I will use 2 or 3 times a year.

I paid something like $80, I think. I see them on Amazon for $60.

I have used the Tekonsha prodigy with excellent results. Is the voyager a newer model ???

It is also my understanding that the factory tow command is made by Tekonsha .

I think the voyager is more of a base model. Very effective for the price and I have not had any problems with it.

I used a Voyager for two years until I upgraded to a Prodigy last month when I bought my new truck. I have the Voyager listed on craigslist for $50.00.
