x2 with the pin pulled you will lock the brakes up solid, no rotation at all. You can test it by pulling with your TV, or if you have the TT up on jacks try spinning with your hand.
What do you have for a brake controller in your TV? Do you have an OEM brake controller,? Just because your vehicle came with a 7 pin trailer connection does not mean the vehicle came with a factory brake controller. You should have a few buttons/knobs on the dash where you can change your settings.
If you do not have a factory brake controller what aftermarket controller do you have?
My guess if you have a brake controller (factory or aftermarket) it is not configured for your trailer.
The last two controllers I have had (OEM built in my current TV and my P3 aftermarket in my last TV), both had settings for how many axles, is it a heavy or a light trailer, and then a "gain" to make fine adjustments. My previous controllers before these were not that smart, just a simple dial to adjust the gain.
