The nice thing about an F450 is that the brakes are designed to stop 26,000 pounds without assistance. My brake controller failed last year while I was towing a 15,000 pound fifth wheel on hills and around curves. The truck still stopped perfectly.
Not trying to hijack the thread, but I thought the tow vehicle brakes were designed for the weight of the tow vehicle itself plus the payload rating of the tow vehicle plus some type of safety margin, but not to include the entire theoretical trailer tow rating as well. But, hey, I've been wrong before.
