Overview on Ford F-150 Truck's Integrated Trailer Brake Controller
Ford is known for its commitment to innovative vehicle features that ensure safety, comfort, and utmost convenience for drivers and passengers. One unique feature that particularly stands out in Ford vehicles, especially in the Ford F-150 Truck, is the integrated trailer brake controller. This functionality has been seen excellent in providing smooth deceleration for a towed trailer.
The Remarkable Features of Ford F-150's Trailer Brake Controller
The trailer brake controller in Ford F-150 is designed to automatically trigger the trailer brakes when the towing vehicle's brakes are engaged. The well-thought-out positioning of the controls facilitates easy access and operation. Besides the manual control lever which allows the driver to manually send power to the trailer's brakes, you'll find 'plus' and 'minus' controls that adjust the volume of power being sent - a feature referred to as the 'gain setting'.
You can squeeze the manual control lever in a traffic-free environment traveling at approximately 20 to 25 miles per hour to find the right gain setting for different loads. The versatility of this functionality is made evident in the provision allowing the driver to increase or reduce the gain setting depending on whether the trailer wheels are locking up or turning freely.
In addition to the key features, the Ford F-150 Trailer Brake Controller is also designed with customizable settings for different types of trailer brakes. Whether you use electric surge brakes, none, or electric over hydraulic, you can set your trailer brake type accordingly to ensure effective usage. The choice of the trailer brake effort can also be set to low, medium, or high, depending on your needs and the weight of the trailer. The default setting, however, is low which is recommended for most trailers.
