Inertia types have a sensor (usually a pendulum) that senses how hard you are tying to stop, and increases voltage to the trailer the harder you stop the truck. This is better design, but typically must be "leveled" to operate correctly (the pendulum) . Some of the cheaper models are sensitive to road bumps while braking, and can get jerky. The better Models offer self leveling, and gyroscope sensing electronics that compensate for all directions of movement, and offer truly seamless trailer braking

If available for your truck, I would seriously consider Ford's built-in brake controller. It has a lot of features that the others don't because it's integrated with the truck's electronics.

The Prodigy P3 is the only way to fly. RV Wholesalers is almost always the best price. You should be able to get a vehicle specific harness that makes the P3 plug and play.

This^^^^ with a few more zeros. Had them for two different vehicles and they are fantastic.
