I agree with Mark's endorsement of the Tekonsha Prodigy.  It works great
with my heavy car trailer and a lighter horse trailer.  It's a giant
step up from the others I have used.  When I researched it on many
forums, one person asked about the merits of installing a free
hand-me-down controller versus buying the Tekonsha Prodigy.  The replies
were overwhelmingly in favor of spending the money - get it right the
first time.

The advantage of the digital control is that it allows you to preset the
controller to the trailer weight. In my case, I have a setting for
pulling the trailer empty and a different setting with a car in it.  My
wife has three settings, one empty, with one horse and two horses.
That's much better than trial and error settings.  It works fine at
interstate speeds and at a slow crawl with in-town traffic.
