The factory brake controller in my F150 has 2, yes two settings. One for Electric over hydraulic trailer brakes, and one for electric only trailer brakes. And even though they still worked. Mine was set for electric, over hydraulic. It is now set for electric only.

Just wondered if i was the only one that didn't know this?

I bet people who actually take the time to read their owner's manual knew this!

I checked the Ford owners manual online, that should be the same as supplied when new, and did not find anything about the two settings in question.

Procedure for Setting Trailer Brake Controller Effort
See General Information.
Choose either the electric option for trailers with electromagnetic drum brakes, or the electric over hydraulic option for trailers with these brake systems.

Found it under "essential towing checks" Kind of hard to find. they don't have it in a highlited section, as I think they should. It is right above how to set the gain.
