Default Re: Trailer brakes

I have and perfer the 4 wheel electric brakes, when towing my open
car trailer empty I can turn down the controller to slight or no trailer
brakes since mine has a tendency to lock the trailer brakes when
the trailer is empty. But then I tow with a Ford F350 diesel 4x4 with
4 wheel disc brakes.

The only time I have towed a open car trailer with surge brakes was
back in the 80's and when the trailer was empty it would smoke the
trailer tires coming to a stop sign. With the car on the trailer no problems.
