Um...I'm familiar with trailer brakes,my question is how does the truck stop the tail from wagging? Unless this system incorpoates the trailer brakes BUT what if your trailer doesn't have brakes,what then?

I answered this a while ago... they have a system that alternates braking each side of the vehicle or trailer (i'm not sure which) to counter act the wag. not sure how the whole thing works in depth... but to me it's for the lazy and the ignorant... too lazy and or ignorant to load the trailer right or know not to brake going buy a semi or in a high wind gust situation... mainly the first.

My dad has a 99 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the 7.3L Powerstroke. Its got 220K on it now, with probably 3/4 of those hauling his lawn spraying trailer full of chemicals. It was finally last summer at about 195K that he had to get the bearings fixed in his front wheels. That alone has proven ford to me. My uncle has gone through a couple of dodges and a chevy in the same time frame and sold them all due to problems with em.

Dnyce... sorry... got caught up a bit...

For me... its simple.

A true american truck is a Ford, Chevy (or GMC), Dodge. PERIOD. I can't back this side of my arguement up with facts, stats, or anything. Its an attitude. I'm sure that its not only a Detroit thing but a loyality thing. But not just loyality... its attitude and the idea of history.. its hard to explain.

Ok.. muscle cars. Sure there are Super Cars from all over the world. But when you think of "muscle cars"... what do you think of? Cameros, Mustangs, Chevelles, old school novas and impallas. You don't think of Lambo's, Ferraris, or Supras.

Same goes for "trucks". You think of that blue oval, bow tie or rams horns.

Dlit... but that mentality is why many people that work at "BLANK" dealerships and see the broken down vechicles say their CRAP. Cause that is all they see. It taints your POV.

My last F150 in the 3 years I owned it. Took it to the dealership twice. Once for a software update due to engine light. Second time for new clutch plates in the rear end. That is it... 3 years. The old ideas and thoughts on American junk are long gone. Same goes for the Harley Davisons. HD's are "turn key". They are an American built Honda.

I didn't work at a dealership, I worked at a Goodyear store. I mainly did state inspections and general maintenance/services. Then, I worked at Pep Boys. There wasn't a certain brand of car I saw because none of them were dealerships.
