How true of a statement is it that a trailer's brakes (when adjusted properly) are designed to stop the trailer not the TV brakes? Hey, if something fails then all bets are off just like not making sure the pigtail is not all the way in place (relying on the tv to stop the trailer) or some other inop part of the braking system.
Regarding stopping: The trailer has brakes to stop the trailer and it's weight and the TV has it's own brakes.
Well to change the subject a bit. My 19.5's i put on the tires road awful. I got rid of the chinese sampson and stepped up to the 622 from goodyear...
Now back to my tow rig stuff. Someone mentioned on here that the figure the gvw on a bunch of different statistics, but mostly whatever the weakest component is. On this setup, it was the tires only being rated at 3000lbs. So stepping up to a 5000lb rated rim and tire, that should raise that number, or nothing you do will raise that number??
My only REAL concern is my transmission, and braking. If i do lose trailer brakes. But is a dually, with the same brake setup as my truck, going to stop faster then mine?
