Default Needing a new brake controller

I broke my brake controller the other day and I need to get a new one. I was wondering what is a good quality controller? the one that was in my truck was a cheap one that was in it when I bought the truck. I pull a 34 foot gooseneck with up to 22k on it.

this is all we run at work... 11 years and all of them are still workin fine... the biggest trailer they're run on would be a 35 ft gooseneck pulled by our f-450..

I absolutely LOVE this one!

Tekonsha Website - 90185

Never had any issue with it, I know a bunch of people running them! Less the $100 shipped if you look around

Yeah teh boost function is AWESOME! It gives the traielr just a little extra when you first hit the brakes, for a split second. Keeps it from rea ending you when you stop.
