If you have your brake controller set correctly. the trailer brakes will take care of the trailer and your tow vehicle brakes take care of your tow vehicle. NMDriver did not mean to imply that you stand on the brake pedal, but rather that you apply significant pressure so that you slow down quickly, not a panic stop. Remember to downshift at the beginning of the downslope, not after you start to gain speed. I usually will firmly brake t slow my rig down 10 - 15 MPH then let off and let it build the speed back up again, then repeat the process. That gives the brakes some ime to cool off between applications.
