DIGITAL READOUTWith its highly visibly, simple to read digital readout, the Primus IQ lets you quickly monitor your and trailer brake settings and connection. Easily view power output, boost, and more while a continuous diagnostic check monitors your connection and alerts you of any electrical issues, so you can fix any problems before they land you on the side of the road. |
MANUAL OVERRIDEIf you ever need to manually apply the trailer's breaks simply slide the Primus IQ's override lever to the desired power output. Unlike a “push knob” for manual override, the sliding level allows you to increase the trailer's braking at variable rates allowing you to give your brakes a little, or a lot, of stopping power depending on your needs. |
BOOST BUTTONWhen towing a heavy load you may need a little extra effort from your trailer's brakes to ensure a smooth, safe, comfortable stop. Boost allows a more aggressive setting, increasing the sensitivity of the brake controllers inertial sensor and enhancing the participation of the trailer's brakes during a braking event. |

MULTIPLE MOUNTING OPTIONSFeaturing a versatile mounting range of 180 degrees the Primus IQ includes all of the necessary hardware for easy installation, as well as both a traditional mounting bracket, or snap-in mounting clip, allowing you to quickly remove and store the controller when it's not in use. |
QUICK AND EASY DISCONNECTWith an included plug and play wiring port that adapts to all Tekonsha 2-plug vehicle specific brake controller wiring harnesses, the Primus IQ allows for quick connection between the controller and tow vehicle for fast and easy installation or removal. |
WORKS PROPORTIONALLY IN REVERSEWhen you need to back your trailer into a tough spot the Primus IQ has you covered, braking proportionally in reverse to apply the appropriate braking power based on the deceleration of the tow vehicle. This allows for smoother stopping even when backing up without experiencing the sudden braking jolts that can often be felt when using a time based controller. |
SELF-LEVELINGThere's never a need to worry about adjusting the Primus IQ brake controller based on the terrain you are towing over. The Primus IQ’s internal technology automatically levels as you drive, so there's no problem using it while traversing steep hills or when towing through the mountains. |

Who Is Tekonsha
Looking into a mirror can remind us of who we really are, and in the case of Tekonsha, that mirror reflected a company that would soon become a trusted leader in trailer braking. In 1964 when it first began, the Tekonsha Engineering Company proudly created and manufactured RV steps and mirrors, but just a few shorts years later, that company climbed the stairs and became the powerhouse it was destined to be: a leading manufacturer of trailer brake controllers.
Since its inception, Tekonsha has been at the forefront of innovation and design, from the first steps and mirrors to come off its assembly lines to pioneering the manufacture of electronic trailer brake controllers in the 1970s. Since then, Tekonsha has been a trusted leader in towing safety, with products ranging from brake controllers to electrical wiring and trailer brakes.
Trusted Leader
For more than a half century, Tekonsha’s talented engineers have designed brake controllers to fit the needs of professional towers and weekend warriors alike, so you can drive easy – and brake with confidence - knowing that whatever you tow, Tekonsha can help you stop it.
Innovative
Brake controllers are the heart of the Tekonsha product line with a vast offering of proportional and timed units to fit any tower’s needs. From the first-in-class Prodigy iD proportional brake controller powered by Tekonsha’s mobile EDGE technology, to the Tekonsha P3 brake controller with storable settings and color tri-lingual LED display, the Prodigy P2 with a dimmable LED display and boost mode, or the simple but dependable control and style of the Voyager, Tekonsha’s got it. There’s even an option to secure a wireless brake control unit onto your trailer with the Prodigy RF.
Dependable Quality
Whatever your choice, Tekonsha brake controllers offer smooth, predictable stopping at all speeds. These dependable products are tested to meet – and often exceed - the highest industry standards, so you can brake with confidence. The long-lasting and dependable Tekonsha family of brake controllers. Because Life’s a Journey. Stop Often.

Product Description
The Tekonsha Primus IQ electric trailer brake controller gives you dependable braking power in a compact design. As an industry staple for more than ten years, this proportional braking system provides a smooth braking response in any stopping situation. With its petite yet durable exterior, this trailer brake controller fits nicely under the dash, making it easily accessible from the driver’s seat without being in the way. While also compact, the brains of the Primus IQ are astute. This insightful brake controller has an easy-to-read LED display, self-diagnostic check to monitor your connection and trailer braking activity, and is self-leveling when mounted within a 90-degree vertical range, so there’s no need to adjust the unit once it’s installed. It also features a power output knob to quickly and easily set your desired braking power, a boost option that lets you apply up to three levels of additional trailer braking power, especially when hauling heavier loads, and manual override. The Primus IQ was created to work with electric over hydraulic braking systems, works proportionally in reverse to make backing into tough spots a bit easier, and - like the Prodigy P3, Prodigy P2, and many other Tekonsha brake controllers – utilizes primary sensor technology to ensure the smoothest stop possible. When you’re done towing, the IQ’s snap-in dash mounting clip, Plug & Play port for two plug adapters, and removeable electrical connector allow the unit to be quickly stored. The Primus IQ is truly a complete trailer brake controller kit. It works with trailers with 1-3 axles, comes with all necessary mounting hardware, and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

This controller functions exactly as one should. With no trailer, you don't even notice it's there. The display isn't intrusive, and completely shuts off aside from a small, dim light to let you know it still works.
With a trailer, it just works. The controls are simple, the boost functions are easy to use and understand, and the adjustability is straightforward. Installation is as easy as any other brake controller, and at 70 degrees you'd be hard pressed to find a spot it won't work in. Braking action is smooth and consistent, and the manual override works as it should. The display tells you whether it's connected, and how much power it's feeding to the brakes, and that's about it. Fantastically simple and effective.
Long story short, I already installed 3 of them in 3 separate vehicles, and we just purchased an '03 Explorer that will be the fourth. We use this mainly for a 3 horse slant.
This thing adapts to the pressure of braking while I’m towing my 5th wheel. Love it!
Super easy install. Great controller. I highly recommend it to newer towing people for sure.
If you’re seasoned, we’ll you probably already know how great this controller is!
That brings me to the Tekonsha. It had great reviews and so I went with it. Installation was easy but I wish they had included something besides those aggravating flat screws. Lol. Connection was completely plug and play with their Jeep wiring harness that I bought separately.
It all works perfectly and seems to nicely match the level of braking between my truck and my travel trailer. The trailer will slow or stop the truck by itself if I press the manual button, but when I press the brake pedal everything responds accordingly as it should. An LED readout shows the level of braking power at a given time. There’s going to be a little adjustment period where you’ll be tweaking the brakes’ timing and sensitivity.
It’s the easiest thing to install ever. I like the plastic multi position bracket. It allows me to push it flat against the dash when I am not towing. It fits nicely in my Jeep Gladiator. I chose to put it under the steering wheel next to my right knee. I can look down and easily see it but it isn’t in my way.
In summary it does exactly what it is supposed to do, and I’m happy that I chose it.
