Looking for a breaking control as my Ram does not have the breaking system in the cab. Just that unit. It is already wired and has a hitch. The trailer is a 24 foot tandem axle weighing in at approximately 5200 lbs. I have been looking around (typically EBay) and see them there priced from 60 to 250 bucks... a little help? Thanks!! 1st post here

The OEM trailer brake controller needs to be programmed. Some people have the dealership do this or you can do it yourself with AlfaOBD

I put a Tekonsha P3 in my 2017 1500. Loved that brake controller. Plug and play with the adapter cable, no programming needed.
