winter driving
Hi everyone. Did a search and did not find anything about 5rs in the winter. My question is, what do I need to do for winter? Turn the trailer brakes up, down or don't touch? I am heading down...

Actually surprising how much grip the truck has with all the pin weight right on drive axle. Randu
I agree with this - we pulled our 28' (10,000 lb) 5er through some of that icy mess in N Georgia last week, and the wheels only slipped a couple of times. Yesterday, Ed backed the truck (2011 F-350 2WD) out of the garage into 6" of dry snow - and promptly got stuck....LOL!!!
To the OP: we were on glare ice for about 4 hours: we drove slowly and "gently" and left plenty of space in front of us (mindful of the additional weight to be stopped). Didn't change any of the settings between truck and trailer, and never had the sensation that the trailer was doing anything other than following politely. Later, I asked Hubby which he'd rather have been driving in those awful conditions, the 5er, or our trusty Class C, and he said the 5er!
