I just bought my 2012 Ram 2500 last month with the factory brake controller. My trailer is probably about 6500 pounds. I set the controller to heavy and found the gain at 3.5 to be good slower driving. On the highway I have it between 5 to 6.
This past weekend was my first trip with the new truck. Truthfully I wasn't a bit impressed with the factory controller. I'm glad I saved my Prodigy P2 & cable from my old Ram. IMHO the Prodigy P2 is a far better controller than the factory installed controller.
I know someday soon, I will be finding a way to abandon the the factory controller and install the Prodigy.
