Find Reliable Trailer Brake Controllers at Sears

Trailer brakes are vital components that prevent your trailer from swaying. If the gross trailer weight is too high, installing trailer brakes on your flatbed or covered trailer is necessary. Sears carries a large selection of high-quality surge and electric brakes to help your trailer decelerate safely. Similar to standard vehicle brakes, surge trailer brakes use hydraulic fluid to stop a trailer at the same pace as your SUV or truck.

While surge models rely on hydraulics, electronic brakes rely on an additional electric component. Electronic models connect to a trailer brake controller underneath your dashboard. The controller monitors your vehicle's deceleration to reduce swaying. Most trucks and SUVs that useclass 3 hitches or higher usually have space by the dashboard to plug in the brake controller, making installation quick and easy. Many electric trailer brakes and controllers come in a complete kit so you can select both parts in one purchase.

Whether you're towing your boat to the lake or hauling materials to a worksite, it's important to follow necessary precautions before hitting the road. If you're carrying heavy cargo, make sure your trailer decelerates smoothly. Sears carries brakes and trailer brake controllers to help you get the job done safely.
