Innovative Products of America proudly announces the Light Ranger Mobile Universal Trailer Tester (MUTT), a light and electric brake tester for Utility and RV type trailers. The water resistant and portable design allows users to test a trailer without the tow vehicle. Compatible with 7 spade, 6 round and 4/5 flat pin connection types, the Light Ranger MUTT is designed to simulate all electrical circuits while providing industry standard pin configuration and short circuit protection.

The Light Ranger MUTT is portable and water resistant with a rugged, American made enclosure utilizing a strong carrying handle, external power accessory port and internal battery compartment that fits common motorcycle type batteries (battery not included). 

A necessity for anyone who sells, owns/operates, inspects or rents trailers, the Light Ranger MUTT ensures a trailer’s electrical wiring is working properly and adheres to inspection standards before use. 

"The Ranger MUTT provides an efficient and professional method of inspecting a trailer prior to hook up, and its value shines when you consider that the purchase price is less than one ticket for malfunctioning trailer lights," says Dan Engelsen, technical expert at IPA.

The Light Ranger MUTT comes with a battery charger, three-way trailer harness adapter and IPA’s 24-hour repair or replace warranty policy. The Ranger MUTT Memory Saver Accessory Kit (#9104) is available separately.
