My advice is similar to the others'. I bought a different controller every year and didn't find one I really liked until the Prodigy came out. Bought one when they first came out, still using it, will continue to do so. Check out the boost feature on the Prodigy.
When you adjust your current controller you might try to adjust so the trailer brakes come on just before the truck brakes. If you hear the kingpin sliding forward in the hitch when you apply brakes then either the trailer brakes are not applying first or they are set not as strong as the truck brakes. Either way, an adjustment is in order. At least that's one of the things I check for.
With my older controllers it seemed I had to adjust it one way when first starting out for the day and then adjust it again as the brakes warmed up. On a long day's trip I might have to adjust again as they would get too strong. I readjusted the Prodigy several months ago just to see if it needed adjusting and haven't touched it since other than a couple of weeks ago I decided to back off the strength just a bit to alleviate some brake squalling the Montana was having.
