2016 Ram brake control
My new Ram has electronic brake settings labeled "light, medium, heavy." What do these mean? Light might be different then my idea of light, etc. Say, would "light" mean trailers between 1000 and 500...

From the 2016 Ram Owner's Manual, you have 4 settings: Light Electric, Heavy Electric, Light Electric over Hydraulic, Heavy Electric over Hydraulic. The Heavy setting is for trailers over 10,000 lbs. There is no medium (at least on my truck there's not). The owner's manual covers the 1500, 2500, and 3500.
I personally use the heavy setting for my toy hauler. It doesn't quite weigh 10,000 lbs, but I can get a better adjustment with that setting. My horse trailer uses light electric. They will lock up using heavy, even at low gain levels.
This is your manual:
