Question:
What is the difference between these two brake controllers? RED44FR and RED39FR, RED24FR and RED39FR

Helpful Expert Reply:
The biggest difference between the two Redarc brake controllers is that the Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR has a proportional control and user controlled mode you can switch between, while the Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR has just the proportional mode.
The proportional mode is for everyday, normal towing - your trailer brakes will activate at the intensity which you decelerate, and gives them the appropriate power for that deceleration. User controlled mode applies the same amount of braking power (which you can change via the control knob) each time you apply the brakes. This is best for off-roading or in very mountainous, steep areas because when off-road you will want lesser braking power in order to maintain momentum, and in steeper declines you can increase the braking power to ensure your trailer doesn't push your tow vehicle. So the right one will depend on your situation:
- Standard everyday towing on normal terrain: Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR
- Towing frequently off-road or steep descents: Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR
Apart from that, the only other real difference is that the Tow-Pro Elite is for trailers with up to 3 axles, while the Liberty is for trailers with a maximum of 2 axles. These are superb brake controllers, and their control knob not only makes them really easy to use, but also saves space in your cab compared to traditional controllers that require the unit be mounted under your dash.
To install either in a 2022 Nissan Frontier, you will need the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake Controllers # RED39FR.
