Second question: Is the brake controller prewired and hiding under the dash? Anyone find it?

This forum is great! Learned a lot here!
Only one problem with surge brakes, if the trailer starts to sway or your going down a hill, surge brakes only come into play when your braking. No individual control like you get with electric brakes. Also you can control the amount of braking force with electric for more control. They are more expensive and require more components but much better safety.
