Sold my old reliable bowtie dually and picked up a '99 Dodge dually with a Cummins My old controller was a cheap piece of $#!+. Would always be jerking the trailer around with no real fine tuning capabilities the brakes were either ON or OFF. Pulling a 26' Tag with a total of 9,000# max including the trailer. What do you use and how do you like it. Looking at the Tekonsha P2 & P3's, have you used them? Your thoughts please. Thanks, Greg

I have the Tekonsha P3 in my 2008 Ram and I love it. I'm pulling a 24' enclosed full of tools, '67 Barracuda, & golf cart and I cant believe how it stops so well. I have had other controllers in other trucks and they were all crap compared to the P3.

Prodigy P2... love it... one of the best out there
Yep, best out there IMO too. Tekonsha is a strong second. The Prodigy gives you 3 main levels of control plus a fine control thumb wheel for fine tuning each level.
The Prodigy is made by Tekonsha
