Trailer Towing Safety: 6 Great Electronic Brake Controllers

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are over 50,000 accidents every year related to towing. Towing a trailer is extremely dangerous and you must know what you’re doing prior to getting behind the wheel. Trailer sway is a serious problem that can lead to devastating injuries on the roads.
