Best way to check trlr brakes AND integr brake controller

I've got a 2013 GMC 2500HD diesel. I'm pulling a Northwood Nash 26X trailer (not a fiver). Everything works fine, as near as I can tell, but I have one question re trailer brakes. I took the rig ...

Drive down a street at low speed and apply trailer brakes using brake controller manual lever

Should feel trailer 'tug' on tow vehicle

Do same when at full stop......apply brake manual lever and then slowly drive away. Should feel that tug/resistance from trailer

And being that trailer brakes (majority) are NOT self adjusting.....one should manually adjust trailer brakes beginning of each year so that they are properly set ready to grab when needed.
