Initial leaks for the Gladiator reported it did not have a brake controller. On the on-line configurator they added the option. The brake controller replaces the 12v lighter. I think something similar would be great on the Ranger. It is adjustable by pushing and turning instead of the traditional pinch motion.

I'd have to try it, but I think I'd prefer the pinch variety. I've had bad trailer sway on I-70 and I-80 where I needed to be able to hit my trailer brakes in a near-emergency. I want that intuitive quick way to access the trailer breaks while not using the truck brakes to help stop the sway while maintaining control.

Thanks for that. That trailer brake controller is not what I was expecting, but good to know it exists. I think I would maybe put the knob in a different place though.
All it needs is a bracket behind the knob to indicate what your doing.

The mounting position shown in the referenced video appears to be where the factory installs the 2/4 wheel drive selector.

Make sure you slam that SAP button, all the text is in Spanish. And they did add some terrible music choices; But hey - its new video of the Ranger!

Looks like the driving impression embargo ends at 6am on 12/18/18. Get ready!
