CURT (51170): Spectrum Brake Control

If you’ve ever wished you could control all your trailer brake settings with an easy-to-use button from inside your cab, your wait is over. With its LED-illuminated rotary knob interface and separate main module with accelerometer, the Spectrum trailer brake controller from CURT gives you powerful, precise braking operation in a simple and subtle OE-inspired design. You can mount the Spectrum’s main module behind the dash of your vehicle—completely out of sight—while the compact, unobtrusive interface can be fully integrated into your dash with just a single hole.

The single rotary knob features a push-button that allows you to adjust brake power output, while its 10 tri-color LEDs (red, blue & green) show real-time power output. The design eliminates the need for a separate display or additional controls, keeping the dash of your vehicle clean, professional, and uncluttered.

CURT equipped the powerful main module with a triple-axis motion-sensing accelerometer that can detect the inertia of the vehicle and trailer on all axes of three-dimensional space. Whatever the speed or grade, the Spectrum produces the exact amount of power needed for a smooth, safe stop every time.

The 51170 can operate up to eight trailer brakes at a time, on vehicles with ABS brakes and cruise control, and it works with low-voltage and PWM systems. It installs in 10 minutes or less via the quick, vehicle-specific plug harness. CURT included automatic leveling and calibration features to further simplify the setup process.

Features

  • Controls all brake settings with a simple push-button rotary knob.
  • Clean, dash-mounted, OEM-style user interface with 10 tri-color LEDs.
  • Main module can be mounted anywhere, at any orientation, out of sight.
  • Highly responsive, smooth stops with triple-axis, motion-sensing accelerometer.
  • Easily accessible manual override with the press of a button.
  • Plug-and-play installation.

Use This Post Clip for Email

The 16026 5th wheel legs from CURT make towing your RV, travel trailer, or other full-size 5th wheel trailer a dream. Specifically designed for the Nissan Titan XD with OEM puck system, these 5th wheel legs feature a three-point anchoring system that quickly and securely drops into the truck bed. They require no measuring, cutting, drilling, or vehicle-specific brackets for installation (the truck bed puck system is required for installation).

The legs feature standard, easy-access mounting holes to accommodate any CURT 5th wheel, and they boast a gross trailer weight capacity of 20,000 lb. To make towing as smooth and quiet as possible, these Nissan Titan XD legs also come with castle nuts that can be tightened or loosened as needed to eliminate any space between the pucks and the anchors.

For durability, this product is protected by a co-cured finish: a rust-resistant liquid Bonderite coating beneath a carbide black powdercoat. Together, the two create a superior shield against the elements as well as provide a barrier against rust, chipping, and UV damage. A limited lifetime warranty rounds out the protection.

Note: Requires Nissan Titan XD puck system for installation (long beds only). Compatible with CURT 5th wheel hitch heads up to 20,000 lb. Also available for Ford, GM, and Ram.

Features

  • Adapts most CURT 5th wheel hitch heads to fit the Nissan Titan XD puck system.
