Towing Heavy 5er with SRW Truck
I personally don't as my unit is 11k dry. I see a lot of SRW diesel trucks (newer models which I know handle more than older ones) towing huge 5th wheels or toy haulers. Any of you have a setup ...

OUCH!!! The EB makes a really big difference, as does the T/H mode, as I was braking, the EB was aggressively slowing me down and tranny was downshifting....when I got out of the truck, I could "just smell" the brakes a little...not much, but again, I was only doing around 55 mph when I looked and saw the message, "trailer disconnected"......Good to have equipment that can help handle that situation.
I love my EB! I believe by using the EB It will extend the life of the brakes on my FW by 4 or 5 times the normal.
