How it Works:

The CURT 51170 Spectrum operates proportionally, meaning it applies the trailer brakes in direct relation to how hard the vehicle's brakes are applied. When the vehicle's brakes are engaged, the controller senses the deceleration and sends a proportional signal to the trailer's electric brakes. The digital display provides real-time feedback, and the built-in diagnostics monitor the trailer's electrical system. The adjustable boost settings allow the user to modify the initial braking force for various towing scenarios. Installation requires a vehicle-specific wiring harness for seamless integration.
