It would also be interesting to hear from anyone who has experienced heat related brake fade while towing with any modern truck. With tow/haul transmissions and trailer brakes it may be uncommon.
I did. Towing over the Teton Pass in WY. Had smoke coming from both front brakes despite using 2nd gear and braking intermittently. The RV brakes may not have been doing their job as they were repaired the next season when one took a dive on me. The truck was a 5.9L Cummins 3500 SRW Megacab 4x4. Weight was about 21k combined. Had to pull over and let everything cool down. Stopping on the shoulder took 2 feet on the brake pedal. Scary stuff.
