Yes, and three levels of power, low, medium and high.

The Ford OEM controller will switch between electric and electric over hydraulic plus... this is what I've been playing with...

Set at the DEFAULT "Light" I ended up leaving the gain at 5.5 and the brakes felt more solid when stopping but didn't improve in stopping distance..

I moved the gain up to 6.5 and it did stop in less distance but was a little jerky...

That's when I started playing with the "Light" - "Medium" & "Heavy" settings..

this is where I'm at right now and it felt pretty good... "Medium & 5.5 on the gain..

Next time I go out (Thanksgiving) I'll try a few more settings and see if I can find one I like..

I'm enjoying the brakes a lot, because they are more "SOLID" they trailer doesn't feel like it want to fight for control..

Initial Output Setting

The trailer brake controller lets you customize how aggressively the trailer brakes engage.

The default value is set to “Light”. We recommend this setting for the majority of trailers.

If you are using an EOH trailer with a high setting voltage, or if you prefer to feel more brake feedback from the trailer, then select “Medium” or “Heavy”.

Trailer Brake Effort Setting

The trailer brake controller allows the user to customize how aggressively the trailer brakes engage.

The default value is "Low" and is the recommended setting for most trailers.

If your trailer's brakes require more initial voltage, or if you prefer more aggressive trailer braking, then select either the "Medium" or the "High" setting.

I'm curious. How much is the cost for this improvement?

Prices for the parts can be found on their website:

Labor is on top of that depending on what you get done. In my case, I had the disk brakes, upgraded shackles and wet bolts installed for $900. I brought my trailer to them, for $100 more they would have done it at my house.

I agree with all the good things people are saying about both the quality of the work and the improved performance.
