Corrosion-resistant, surge-type actuator bolts over 3" wide trailer tongue and includes standard, heavy-duty coupler with 3" drop. Electric reverse lockout lets you back up without activating the trailer brakes.
Features:
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 actuator is triggered as your trailer moves forward while the tow vehicle slows. The actuator telescopes, applying force to its master cylinder, which in turn supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage the trailer's brakes.
Electric reverse lockout with solenoid is automatically activated when the tow vehicle is shifted into reverse. To use this feature, you must have a 5-pole flat, 6-way round or 7-pole wiring harness.

service and products are great shipping was a shit show which has nothing to do with you thanks ups
Actually I am a little disappointed. In hindsight I'm not sure I received the hitch I was supposed to get. I spoke with a rep before ordering and discussed the weight of my boat 6500# and I recently noticed that hitch is rated for 6000# lbs. What model was the original order for? Also the clasp on latch is very clunky/stick and covers part of the lock hole. I had to grind it down to get lock to slide through.
I purchased this to because i was replace the drum brakes with disk brakes. It is an excellent actuator (as are the brakes and brake lines). The one issue I have is the thin metal shield for the backup solenoid, it has sharp edges that can cut the insulation of a wire (like the one going to the solenoid) or a child's finger. This design is clearly an afterthought by someone who is incompetent. I bent part of the shield back on itself to minimize the chance of any damage to the wire. This could be easily remedied if the manufacture would add a 1/2" and roll the metal back on itself before bending it. I guess I should be happy that the shield is there at all. I would give it 5/5 if it was not for this stupid afterthought design
Very good quality, and our customer has made no complaints.
Product was sent very well fast delivery and it was exactly what I wanted
I'm sure the product works fine, but it was too long for my available trailer mounting space. If etrailer would provide measurements along with their product information, it would have saved me the return fees and hassle. Also, packaging is terrible. It was thrown in a box with no packing, and arrived all dented up. Now I have to return it, hopefully without discussion on whose fault that is. Box arrived full of holes, and unit dinged and dented on the corners.
After a year of service this thing seems to work pretty good. We had a slightly different style actuator that this unit replaced, I believe the big holes lined up pretty good and the installation was straight forward. We definitely got a big boost in braking power from the other unit that was failing. Unit still looks good after a year of use.
When I got the box,,, it looked like it went around the world a few times. The metal cover around the back up lock out is bent up, but still workable.

Ill have one of our customer service folks get in touch with you shortly regarding the damage your coupler sustained.
Item could be packaged better, it did however arrive a day early. The only reason I did not give a five star review, the guard for the backup solenoid is very thin and was bent to the point of having to be removed to be straightened. I am not sure that it will be strong enough to protect the solenoid and brake line if stepped on.
Haven't towed with it yet. Loosely bolted to trailer frame. fit perfect. tin on back around solenoid was bent coming out of package but not huge deal. Won't know more until it gets some road use but so far so good.
Thanks for the very quick and personal service. My items arrived very quickly and in good shape. Especially like the photos and summary of what was purchased as part of the confirmation/order.
I definitely recommend etrailer.com
This is a replacement for the same actuator that was 27 years old. This is a good value.
Perfect, just what I needed to replace my worn out old actuator
Great service, Easy to look up parts and the free shipping is awesome although a bit slow
