Trailer brake controller for 2022 Ford Ranger Tremor

What is an "emergency braking event"? Seriously

So the red arc, which looks similar and a 100 times easier to install won't stop my trailer?

It's when the truck senses it needs to stop - pre collision - and applies the brakes without driver input...

Thanks, really wasn't sure.

No worries.

I'm not sure it makes a huge difference though - if the truck applies the brakes chances are the driver is going to slam the brakes so we're talking a second of reaction time?

I'm sure emergency braking of the trailer and truck together gives a more optimal out come...

Honestly for the price and pain in the ass fact, I'll buy the red arc.
My chance of trailer pulling are slim. But, this is something ford should have put on a truck that comes with a "tow package."

Yeah.

I'm pretty disappointed that it doesn't come with a brake controller. For shits sake it is literally called a Towing package.
