| The comments about the importance of brakes to towing reminds me of a question raised by a post I saw about a large vehicles brakes being cooked while towing a Ranger, despite having surge brakes on the trailer. When I first got my pick up, I towed a large travel trailer, weighed almost 7,000 empty. However, it had electric brakes and I set the controller up the way the dealer and veteran camper owners suggested. Had smooth stops and despite towing that trailer around 10,000 miles, I didn't need to replace my truck brakes until around 70,000 miles.
Can surge brakes on a trailer be adjusted? The electric brakes on my travel trailer were set so that they engaged slighty firmer than the truck brakes, keeping the trailer straight and putting less stress on the truck brakes. | |
