Towing in slick conditions

You may need to adjust brake controller settings. It can be tough to modulate gently to avoid lockup on slick surface

This is one of my concerns, should I adjust controller to where I don't feel the trailer brakes? It is a relatively light trailer at just 3800 lbs.

I usually just lock the truck into a low gear and coast to avoid breaking all together.

I’m thinking more the adjustment for how abruptly it applies the brakes, but I agree to minimize the need for brakes, especially while turning.

Even though your trailer is only about 3800 pounds, that is spread over just the one axle. Similar weight on each tire as a 7,600 tandem
