The Tow-Pro Classic offers a single, “user- controlled” mode of braking, while the SEMA award-winning Tow- Pro Elite offers an additional “proportional” mode for highway conditions.

And with a wide selection of accessories, REDARC assures that customers will get a “clean, quality OE-looking install every time.” Mark Willes, Category Manager of Towing at Keystone Automotive Operations, states, “We’re excited to now offer REDARC brake controllers and battery products through Keystone Automotive. REDARC brake controllers combine smooth braking in a small footprint. It’s at your fingertips when you need it, out of the way when you don’t, and looks and feels great. In addition, REDARC’s battery solutions are a smart way to make sure you always have power—no matter how long or short you’re off the grid, if you’re charging your RV’s battery bank, the battery on your dump trailer, or adding an accessory battery to your pickup.” For more information, please visit www.keystoneautomotive.com.
