Does anyone have any comments, good/bad about them? Seems people have thier favorite brands. My trailer will gross out at 11.5k so it's not a heavy weight. How long has Ford offered these brake controllers? Thanks. 2010 Ford F250HD V10 2010 Jayco 30.5RLS brirene • View posts midwest Senior Member Joined: 01/27/2007 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Offline Posted: 11/04/09 05:03pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Integrated Brake Controller (IBC) were introduced in the '05 model year. I love mine, and I think you'll find positives greatly outweigh negative responses based on previous threads on the issue.

Everyone that I know and have read about that has it loves the way it works. Ford did have a problem early on with them not activating at low speed or some such thing but they have had that fixed that for some time. I am sure you are going to enjoy the way it works!

The controller seems to work very well. My last truck had a Prodigy controller in it, and the controller on the 09 works as well as the Prodigy did. I would still recommend using the Tow/Haul mode in town and in the mountains, though. It helps.
