A lot the larger-engined trucks out there have braking packages included in the tow packaging, now. Controls right in the dash, sent strait to the trailer plug.

A lot the larger-engined trucks out there have braking packages included in the tow packaging, now. Controls right in the dash, sent strait to the trailer plug. I can remember similar trucks of 15-20 years ago didn't have these; trailer brakes were always an aftermarket addition.
- war1025 8y agoI don't even mean the trailer brake / light package. He was referring to the fact that if you are going to be towing heavy things, you need to have much stronger brakes on the truck itself since most of the braking power on a vehicle ends up coming from the front wheels. Being able to stop a heavy thing that is going fast is as important, if not more important, than being able to get the heavy thing up to speed to begin with.
