Specs:
When you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, deceleration occurs and momentum pushes your trailer toward the rear of your vehicle. With surge brake systems, the hydraulic actuator is triggered as your trailer moves forward, once your tow vehicle starts to slow down. When this happens, the actuator contracts, applying force to its master cylinder. This in turn supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage your trailer's brakes.
This coupler features a simple-to-use latching mechanism known as the EZ-Latch. With this mechanism, hooking up is as easy as dropping the coupler over your trailer hitch ball. The latch does not need to be tugged or manually activated to allow the ball into the coupler socket, nor does it have to be secured in place. Just make sure that the coupler is properly lined up with the ball when you lower it, and the rest is automatic. Disengaging the coupler is just as effortless. Simply lift up the handle and the coupler socket will automatically release its grip on the ball.
The contoured, low-profile design of the latch handle helps protect the coupler from damage by allowing any potential hazards - from debris on the road to your ball mount backing into the coupler - to simply slide over the top. This helps prevent anything from getting under the latch handle and releasing the ball, and it can also limit any damage to the coupler should an impact occur
Unlike most couplers, which have a pin hole on the handle latch, the EZ-Latch coupler features a hole on the side of the coupler itself. Inserting a coupler lock through this hole will keep the latch from lifting, preventing disconnect and theft.
Electric Reverse Lockout
The electric reverse lockout on this trailer brake actuator is automatically activated when you shift your tow vehicle into reverse. The solenoid wires into your trailer connector - which connects to your tow vehicle - so that it can detect when you are in reverse. When your vehicle is in reverse, the solenoid ensures that the hydraulic actuator does not activate your trailer's brakes, thus allowing you to back up your rig. To use the lockout feature, you must have a 5-pole flat, 6-way round, or 7-pole trailer connector.
Sturdy, Corrosion-Resistant Construction
Made of sturdy steel, this hydraulic trailer brake actuator features a durable zinc coating that is designed to limit rust and corrosion. This zinc coat has a 120-hour salt spray rating. In addition, the composite master cylinder is made of corrosion-resistant glass-reinforced nylon to further ensure durability.

Great quality and price.
Nice product and great price! Arrived on time!!
Arrived quick (Way faster than I expected). Haven't installed yet but part is what was advertised
As usual, great product, good price, super fast ship. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++++++++
fit the job
Looks like a good product although I haven't been able to bleed the brakes yet.
I just finished the install and went well . Its was a fast install and when i call to order all the staff were very helpful
Great product. It fits like a glove. All parts and component seem to be high quality.
It was a little longer than expected but still a solid piece.
Super fast delivery at no cost it is hard to beat.
Far superior to the UFP junk that came on my trailer.
Good price , quality and fast delivery , will buy things from etrailer again
Exactly what I needed plus the best price. Shipping was free and very quick. Etrailer is always my go to for parts
I was tempted to replace the parts in my old unit but figured it was more cost effective to buy a new one.
The unit bolted on perfectly and has been working flawlessly since it was installed.
The bolt holes in the coupler didn't line up with my frame where I removed old part so had to cut. And the new coupler only has two bolt holes while the old one had three. I thought it would have been standardized.
It would have been nice to include a set of installation instructions on the surge hitch
Appears well made and designed. Like plastic master cylinder body. Iron master cylinder on unit I am replacing was hopelessly corroded to point where I couldn't get cap off reservoir.
Replaced my old one with the new actuator and cannot believe how smooth it operates. No more banging or movement when I stop or go. Great product.
Product arrived on time & was an exact replacement for the old one. I'm very happy!
I would highly recommend this product, it was easy to install and I feel much safer on my 4 hour (each way) hauls to the ocean.
