When having a brake controller installed, do NOT let the "tech" put a thermal circuit breaker in the engine compartment, in line with the controller's hot line to the trailer brakes. It will trip at the worst possible time, leaving you with NO BRAKES. I found this out on a hot day going downhill on a REALLY steep, curvy, dangerous road in Northern California.
And another one: Always put the tailgate up on the truck before you take off. Didn't lose anything, but seriously bent the tailgate as I was pulling into a parking lot... to stop and put the gate up.
