Electric brakes settings

Just courious, what setting do you'll use on the brake control. I have an 2012 Dodge and it came with built in brake controller.

  • The OPs 2012 Dodge factory brake controller should have a high and low range selection,. Without knowing the weight of his trailer, it is impossible to give him a setting guesstimate or even which range to select.
  • The setting on your controller will vary. It depends on the condition of the trailer brakes, the wiring, brake adjustment, etc.

    My Ford manual says to start at 6.0, but 4.5-5.0 is plenty, while lightly loaded.
