An unfair Dodge test probably set up by someone sore about this Ford test of a trailer going down a hill..
Clicky It is a commercial produced by Ford back in 2012, with a GM and Dodge truck towing a trailer down a hill, with -400 pounds hitch weight, something disastrous is about to happen, but the Ford's new factory installed trailer braking system will prevent sway, while the Dodge and GM back in 2012 did not. Current Federal regulations might have required Dodge and GM to put this sort of braking controls on their 2014 and later model year trucks, but Ford had it first.
