I didn't know.

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?

Great idea, especially when it comes to towing.

Way I found out was scrolling thru the display info looking to reset the oil change, and stumbled on it. It is also mentioned in the brake control section of the manual.

My Prodigy P3 has the two settings. That is as much as I know.
