Hello,
I have a new 2018 Jayco X23b that I’ve towed a couple of times now with my 2013 Expedition EL 4x4 with the integrated brake controller. When setting the gain, I’m all the way at 10.0 (max setting) with the trailer slowing fairly aggressively, but I still can’t get the trailer tires to lock up.
Other trailers I’ve towed with this same setup have usually locked up at between 4.0 and 6.0. Since this one only weighs about 5k when loaded, 10.0 sounds high.
So...do others with the Expedition/F-150 brake controller have this issue? Is there a way I can know for sure that all four trailer wheels are braking? As it is, the trailer slows about as I’d expect, so I know it is actually applying power to the brakes. I’m just a little concerned about why I’m maxed out at 10.0.
Thank you!
