CURT trailer brake controllers - Echo™ mobile brake controller

Trailer brake controllers

Many trailers are equipped with electric trailer brakes, and to properly use them, a trailer brake controller is needed. CURT brake controllers regulate the trailer brakes from inside your vehicle and serve as an interface for you to monitor and even manual control brake activity.

CURT offers a number of industry-leading trailer brake controllers, including our Echo® mobile brake controller with smartphone compatibility, as well as our OE-style, dash-integrated Spectrum™ brake controller.

CURT custom trailer wiring 4-way 7-way

Custom wiring

If your vehicle is not equipped with a factory-installed trailer wiring connector, custom wiring is the ideal solution. Custom wiring (or a 'T-connector') plugs into the vehicle's electrical system, using the taillights or an OEM socket, and provides a trailer wiring connector.

All CURT custom wiring is made vehicle-specific and provides a standard trailer wiring connector with no splicing required. Select a custom wiring option based on your vehicle's year, make, model and style.

CURT splice-in taillight converter trailer wiring

Taillight converters

For vehicles that are not compatible with CURT custom wiring options, a taillight converter provides a reliable alternative. CURT taillight converters splice into the vehicle's wiring system and convert the signals to be compatible with a trailer's wiring system.

Most converters provide a standard output connector, usually in the form of a 4-way flat.

CURT trailer wiring adapter towing electrical

Electrical adapters

An adapter is an electrical device that allows a connection to be made between a mismatched trailer plug and tow vehicle socket. For example, a vehicle may be equipped with a 6-way round socket, while the trailer may only have a 4-way flat plug. An adapter can easily be installed to bridge the connection between these two opposing connector types.

CURT offers a wide variety of electrical adapters, including dual-output adapters to accommodate virtually any towing setup.

CURT trailer breakaway system - truck towing camper

Breakaway systems

A CURT breakaway system is an added measure of safety and confidence for you on the road. It is comprised of a battery and a switch. If the trailer ever becomes disconnected from the vehicle while towing, the breakaway system activates the trailer brakes, bringing the trailer to a safer stop.

A breakaway system is only compatible with trailers equipped with trailer brakes. CURT offers various breakaway kit options, including some with rechargeable batteries.

Plugs and sockets

A plug and socket are the basic components that allow a vehicle wiring system to connect to a trailer wiring system. Plugs and sockets can use anywhere from two to seven wires. A socket is typically located at the rear of the vehicle and mounted on or near the trailer hitch. When preparing to tow, the plug is inserted into the socket and allows power to be supplied to the trailer lights and other electrical systems.

CURT plugs and sockets are typically used as replacement parts. To equip your vehicle with a trailer wiring connector, please see our custom wiring options.

CURT trailer wiring tester LED - tow electrical

Electrical testers

A CURT electrical tester is a small device that allows a vehicle-trailer wiring connection to be tested for proper function. They are especially useful after installing new wiring.

Testers are available in various formats and plug directly into the vehicle socket. LEDs on the electrical tester light up with each wiring function (e.g. brake lights, turn signals, etc.) and indicate whether or not each wire is carrying a signal.
