Tekonsha's New P3 Brake Controller for the Sierra and Silverado Truck

The Tekonsha 90195 P3 Proportional Brake Controller is the industry's most advanced electric trailer brake control.  A true proportional braking system that is ideal for use with recreational vehicles, utility, equestrian trailers and more. 

Tekonsha P3 Brake Controler

Proportional brake controllers use a motion-sensing device to detect how fast the tow vehicle is stopping. The moment the driver applies the brakes, the brake controller applies the same amount of braking power to the trailer's brakes.  This allows the trailer to stop at exactly the same time as the truck does no matter how much brake pressure is applied.  Proportional brake controllers offer smoother braking and reduces the amount of wear on the vehicle's braking system.

The Tekonsha 90195 proportional brake control features an easy to see LCD display with multiple color and contrast options and 5 storable setting options for pulling different trailers or operator preference.  The unit allows the user to switch between Electric and Hydraulic brakes and is designed for use with 1-4 axle trailers.

Tekonsha P3 Brake Controler

  • Compact, dash-hugging design
  • Unique, easy-to-use, clip-mounting systems
  • Quick disconnect for easy storage, includes a convenient storage pouch

Bulldog BX1, A New Generation in Gooseneck Couplers

Bulldog BX1

The Bulldog BX1 gooseneck coupler is the result of generations of design expertise and field experience.   The new ball pocket design provides contact on both sides of the ball for substantially improved pull out strength and features the only sliding-plate design that transfers part of the load to the top locking plate rather than only the bottom locking plate.

Traditional locking plate styles only contact the ball on one side, where the new BX1 coupler contacts the ball on 2 sides.

Bulldog BX1 

The Bulldog BX1 bottom locking plate is 50% larger than other competitors, letting you miss by more than an inch while still allowing the ball to guide into the socket easily.  The contour-formed edge on bottom locking plate fits the ball better and reduces jarring and the ever- increasing cam tightening locking mechanism provides a continuous tight ball fit. 

Bulldog BX1

The new Bulldog BX1 locking handle design operates easily with one hand making hooking up and disconnecting quick and easy.

The Bulldog BX1 coupler also features a theft resistant design which allows pad locking the coupler to the ball (lock not included).

If you’re looking for a gooseneck coupler that delivers unmatched strength through its heavy-duty construction, easy vertical height adjustment  and flexible mounting options with the Next Generation locking plate coupler locking mechanism, the Bulldog BX1 is your choice.   Backed by a 5 year limited warranty, the Bulldog BX1 will give you years of trouble free service. 

You can order Bulldog BX1 couplers by calling 1-800-358-4751 or online at TruckSpring.com

independently lab certified to the IP68 standard to be impermeable to liquid and dust.

Mile Marker has a full line of the Project ES Winches ranging from 2500 pounds to 15,000 pounds
available for your Truck, SUV, ATV or UTV.
