About Tekonsha: A Legacy of Towing Safety

Founded in 1964 in Tekonsha, Michigan, Tekonsha has spent more than six decades earning its reputation as one of the most trusted names in electronic brake control and towing safety. What began as a small manufacturer of RV steps and mirrors gradually evolved into an industry-defining force in trailer braking technology — a transformation driven by a commitment to engineering excellence and real-world towing demands.

Today, Tekonsha is widely recognized as a leader in trailer brake control, producing systems that work across a broad range of tow vehicles and trailer configurations. Their brake controllers are designed to deliver smooth, proportional braking response by sensing the actual deceleration of the tow vehicle and applying trailer brakes accordingly — reducing stopping distances and increasing overall safety for drivers, passengers, and cargo alike.

Comprehensive Towing Solutions

Tekonsha's product lineup extends well beyond the brake controller itself. A properly functioning tow setup depends on reliable electrical connections throughout, and Tekonsha addresses that need with an extensive selection of trailer wire harnesses engineered for clean, corrosion-resistant connections between tow vehicle and trailer. Whether you're pulling a boat, horse trailer, camper, or utility trailer, having the right wiring harness is critical for lighting and braking systems to communicate correctly.

For drivers who need to connect their trailer's electrical system to their vehicle, Tekonsha also offers a range of trailer tow harness connectors built to fit a wide variety of vehicle-specific applications. These connectors are designed to plug directly into factory wiring — no splicing, no guesswork — making installation straightforward even for those without professional mechanical experience.

Rounding out the electrical side of towing, Tekonsha's tail light converters solve a common compatibility issue: many tow vehicles use separate turn and brake light circuits, while most trailers use a combined circuit. Tekonsha's converters bridge that gap cleanly, ensuring your trailer lights behave exactly as they should — safely and legally.

Of course, at the heart of any Tekonsha setup are quality brakes and brake parts. Tekonsha supports the full ecosystem of trailer braking, providing components that pair seamlessly with their controllers for a cohesive, reliable system.

Innovation You Can Trust

Tekonsha's continued investment in product development has produced some of the most advanced trailer brake controllers available, including proportional systems that adapt in real time to varying road and load conditions. Their focus on ease of installation, intuitive setup, and durable construction has made them a go-to choice for both everyday towers and serious haulers. With a heritage spanning over 60 years and a product range covering every major aspect of trailer electrical and braking systems, Tekonsha remains a cornerstone brand for anyone who tows.
