Brake Controller Set Up - Tekonsha Primus IQ
I'm inexperienced with trailers and just installed a Primus IQ and used it with a newish trailer that likely was never towed with the brakes active. All I did was set a recommended boost per the man...

I use a an IQ with my 9000lb 5'er. Have had zero issues and it works great. You need to do the 25 mph set up for the gain. Then find the boost setting that suits your trailer. I run B2 90% of the time. If I'm running thru town for a long ways with a lot of stop and go then I just drop the boost to B1. Too much boost and the trailer brakes drag at the end of the stop.
With your light trailer I would venture that the boost would be 1 or 2. Couldn't tell you on the gain.
Are saying the trailer brakes are real hot? Or the trucks? If the trailer brakes are real hot and you didn't do the 25 mph test to set them up then it's possible you have way too much gain or boost dialed in and the trailer brakes were doing most of the stopping. The 25 mph test is very omportant in setup.
