Trailer Brake Controller
What trailer brake controller works best in the X? How about some pictures on where it is mounted.
I will be towing a 24 ft enclosed trailer with electric brakes. Trailer is for hauling my 2006 mustang and 1971 Bronco Sport with 39" boggers. The bronco is the heavier of the vehicles and want to make sure the trailer is going to stop.
Thanks for all the comments.

I have a Prodigy. It's a nice slip-fit into the little cubby hole. Drill a small hole in the back of the cubby to pass the wiring thru. I'll try to post up some pics of it when I get home from work this afternoon.

I love my Valley Oddessy II controller, nice & smooth, plugged in (w/ adapter), fits in cubby where it's easily visible & accessible.

Ditto on Scott's double ditto post.
This is where I have it on my F250.
On my Ex, it's mounted to the underside part of the dash, under the cubby, where you see it stashed in the above picture.

Ditto on the Prodigy! but I use the cubby for storage so I mounted it right below the cubby at an angle - works fine, BTW.

I'm not sure what's bothering you. The asthetics, or that you might hit it.
If it's because you think you might hit it, I doubt that would be a problem.

There might be one that doesn't stick out as far, but it wouldn't be a Prodigy unit, which I think is the best available. Plus, that unit doesn't stick that far out at all.

Chase, I'd forgotten Tekonsha had come out with a "new" model above the Prodigy. How does the P3 differ?
