Do you tow only occasionally or with a variety of vehicles? Avoid the cost of permanent installation with a portable electric brake controller like the Bendix Ultimate Tow+.

Compatible with a variety of vehicles and caravans and trailers fitted with electric brakes, the Bendix Ultimate Tow+ attaches to the trailer a-frame with a patch harness plugging straight into your tow vehicle’s 12-pin trailer plug.

1. How is this portable brake controller powered and installed? 

It powers from the 7 or 12-pin trailer plug. The in-cabin remote uses USB and connects wirelessly.

2. Why do I legally need an electric brake controller? 

By law, trailers over 750kg need brakes. Those over 2,000kg require an electric controller like this one.

3. Do I need to use my mobile phone to operate it? 

No, a phone isn’t needed. It has its own self-sufficient in-vehicle remote with a built-in colour screen.

4. What safety features does it have if the connection fails? 

It has fail-safe braking, so it works even if the signal drops. It also has audible alarms.

5. How much control do I have over the braking, and is it durable? 

It offers 30 levels of fine brake adjustment. It’s also IP67-rated for river crossings and beach driving.
