Electric Brakes

Help me please. Not sure if I don't understand or if I'm being fed more porky pies. Picked up the new tug this morning - Ford territory diesel, with a HR heavy duty tow pack and WDH. Now, I expected a brake controller (as we had one in the old tug). When I asked I was told we didn't need one as we have a connectio...

I've just rung Hyundai,,,which I should have done before my purchase,,,to check that I can fit a 'poly air bag coil helper' to Lucy without voiding my warranty. Yes I can! That's a load off my mind.
