I tow 32.5' that is usually around 8,500lbs With a 2014 Ram 1500. the integrated brake controller works much more effectively than the Prodigy that I used with my Ram 2500 that pulled a 30'5th wheel at around the same weight.
I set the integrated controller at level 4 and I can just about lock the trailer wheels using the manual activation at around 15 mph; beyond level 4 they actually lock up. When at normal driving speeds I easily feel the trailer brakes engage when I touch the truck brake pedal which is what I have always considered as normal.
I noticed a big difference with my 2015 Ram 3500 CTD hauling a 34' TT at little over 9000 lbs. than my after market curt in my previous 2006 Ram CTD. set at 4 too. Much better. Of course I use exhaust brake too. Luv that Exhaust Brake!
