JMO. If it’s an inertia type controller, and you are on ice.....when braking the truck you will get little to no inertia, thereby “no” braking to the trailer! Am I correct in this assumption? This was much of the reason we went with the Brakesmart!
Not correct. That is the purpose of the boost feature.
Inertia based controllers will apply braking. Once you lift your foot from the gas deceleration begins. Once the brake pedal is push braking begins as well, the inertia based controller will sense deceleration and activate brakes.
If the truck is sliding on ice what makes you thing trailer will not slide on ice as well, Brakesmart does not magically create traction for the trailer to keep it from sliding.
There maybe lots of reason to get a brakesmart controller but driving/sliding on ice is not one of them!
