Just got a 2016 RAM 3500. Not feeling good about the built in brake controller. Have the gain set to max and it won't lock the trailer brakes at slow speed. Will have to drive it a little longer to see if it is working for me. I'm a Ford guy but I got the RAM as I was a price point buyer. So far, only minor issues that are easily solved.
It's designed not to lock the brakes at slow speed. You'd never be able to go through an RV park if it did. Set the brakes at 25mph. The brake controller is speed sensitive.
It was also push you through an intersection if you are not careful. RAM is supposedly working to correct the issues they introduced starting with the 2015 models. 2014s worked much better.
I have no complaints with the ITBC on my 2016, and I certainly haven't been pushed through any intersections.
