2006 Ford TBC compatible with Dexter Nev-R-Adjust brakes?

I have a 2006 Ford F350 4WD and just purchased my first toyhauler-a 2012 K-Z Inferno 3410T. It is advertised as having the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust brakes as standard equipment.

My F350 owners manual states:

"The Ford TBC has only been verified to be compatible with
trailers having electric-actuated drum brakes (one to four axles)
and not hydraulic surge or electric-over-hydraulic types."

I want to confirm that the Nev-R-Adjust brakes are electric actuated and not hydraulic or electric over hydraulic before I tow this 10K+ unit across Denver, and most importantly, up and over Colorado mountain passes.

Is JBarca in the house? I have read many of his posts and he is clearly and rightfully recognized as one of the real experts in the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust brakes arena.

Thanks in advance for your responses!

    I replaced the brake assemblies on my 5th wheel with Nev-R-Adjust 2 years ago and they work fine with my '06 Ford. You shouldn't have a problem.
  • Yes, those are electric actuated drum brakes. They will work with the Ford TBC.
  • The adjustment mechanism has nothing to do with your brake controller. It will work.
  • Nev-R-Adjust brakes are drum brakes,electric actuated. They adjust in the forward direction unlike conventional brakes.
