Indee, downhill brake usage is matter of brain power, not vehicle power.
On our return to Arizona this week, I was behind a guy in a pretty old Suzuki Sidekick. (Very amall SUV, for those wondering). He evidently rode his brakes the whole descent on AZ87, because smoke was pouring out of both rear wheels. Surprised he was able to stop at all.
Seen that more than once running east on 89A from Prescott to Cottonwood
Our kids got a small popup (Fleetwood Roanoke) and I really hammered into the s-i-l to use his gears when towing. He's got a '10 Tacoma TRD, so it does tow OK, but when he's loaded up, I didn't want him to have =any= issues, especially with the babies on board. Even though it's well below the GVW for mandatory brakes, I considered paying for an axle swap and controller install.
