Greetings Ron and Dee!

There are many options out there, and the most popular seems to be the
Tekonsha Prodigy.  While I use a Tekonsha Voyager (fewer features/less
costly than Prodigy) on my Suburban and it is totally acceptable - - my
preference is for the Hayes-Lemmerz Micro Control HD plus controller - - it
is also an inertia (pendulum type controller), but has the option of a
remote control that compensates for those installations where the controller
may be in a difficult to reach position during an emergency - - the remote
button is on a coiled cable that can be draped over the shift lever or kept
on the seat next to the driver for quick, easy access in an emergency
situation.  I have the Hayes-Lemmerz controller on both my Cadillac and
Dodge tow vehicles, and am totally thrilled with the latest version that I
have on my Cadillac as well as the older model on my Dodge - - the only
reason that I don't have one on my Suburban is that my Airstream dealer only
stocks the Tekonsha products and he is the one who set up my Suburban.

The Hayes-Lemmer Micro Control HD plus can be found at:

Good luck with your decision.
