When buying a new truck consult with your dealership to see maybe they have a package that has this equipment and maybe there is a chance to lower the price or even get it for free.
4. Don’t Use Trailer Brakes Uphill
This is completely opposite scenario compared to the previous one. It depends which part of the country you live and work but using trailer brake uphill makes no sense so forget about it and just use truck brakes.
Driving uphill and especially if you pull the heavy trailer being you will give you a braking effect immediately you remove the foot from the gas pedal the truck starts to slow down immediately.
Of course there is completely different story if you are parking your truck uphill – then it is mandatory to use the trailer brake and not just that you need to additionally fix the parked truck.
Secure the parked truck and trailer even if there is a small uphill or downhill to prevent any unwanted scenarios. It is not just that they are unwanted, they are also expensive and lead to all king of negative things.
