Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer. And today, we're taking a look and installing the Tow-Pro Liberty proportional brake controller on a 2016 Ram 1500. Now, this is what our brake controller looks like when it's installed and you can see, it takes up very little real estate. And in fact, we're able to find a nice little pocket here and it's gonna be super accessible for the driver to actually adjust and manually override on the brakes. And that's gonna be really great because normal brake controllers kinda sit down here where your knees are, and generally you just kinda bump them when getting in and then sometimes reaching down to actually do the manual override can kinda be cumbersome. And that's the great part about the Redarc is small space but also very easy to use.

So our blue light indicates that we have our trailer actually hooked up. So that's kinda nice, just to kinda let you know that it does have a solid connection. Now, you can adjust the gain and you'll see that it's gonna illuminate the numbers. So if you have a heavier trailer, you can kind of go up the scale of numbers or a lighter trailer, you can go lower. Zero's gonna be no braking, so that's not gonna apply the brakes.

Now, the great part is this is gonna be proportional and there's no delay. So, when you slow down, the vehicle can kinda sense the G force in the module and apply the brakes correctly with the vehicle. And that way, it's not overpowering it. Now, you can also set the gain however you would like. And when you actually push on there, you're gonna see that it's gonna change color for the intensity.

So, as we go lower, it's kind of a cooler color. You got your blue to purple. And then eventually, if you go all the way, that's gonna be a bright red. And you'll also see when the brakes are applied as well. Now, as you hold on the pedal, it's gonna show how hard it is.

So, if I just lightly press, it's just lightly changing. And then the longer you hold, the darker or brighter red that color is going to get. This is gonna be a great option for those of you that just want a simple, clean looking brake controller that's not gonna take up a bunch of space. And honestly, if you pick up the harness, the pigtail adapter, it's gonna make this plug and play and you can have this installed pretty quickly, and you'll never have to worry about bumping your knees on that brake controller again You can mount it exactly where you want it and that way you kind of have that custom customizable location rather than a large brake controller where you're kind of limited to underneath your steering wheel. So as far as that installation goes, again, it's very easy and we're actually gonna show you how to do that right now. To get our Redarc installed we're gonna be using a pigtail adapter and this is gonna be specific to the OEM towing plug on the vehicle. Now it is going to be pretty easy to just plug and play. There's also the option if you just pick up the normal just Liberty, you can actually splice into those wires but this really just makes it a lot easier. Now you can pick this up as a combo with the brake controller. So using our fit guide, it's gonna determine the proper plug and it's gonna include the actual brake controller but you can actually get this individually if you like as well, but definitely worth doing. It's just gonna make the installation that much easier. You won't have to worry about splicing or any connections coming loose over time. All of our components are really gonna live underneath the dash here, and you really wanna plan out where you want to mount your brake controller. And that's the great part about this. It's very small and that way you can kind of pick wherever you want. But a lot of times I try to find spots that, you know if you do drill a hole and over time you don't really like that location, it's easy to replace. So the bezel that goes around the gauge cluster, that seems to be a pretty good option. It's gonna be right there where you want it but we are gonna have to get all of our stuff plugged in before feeding up there. So let's go ahead. We'll start opening up the plastics here and that way we have some access to un
