On my 4th Gen and now my 5th Gen I use light electric for my ~5,000 pound trailer and it works fine. This is what the manual recommends


Depending on my load, following this procedure my gain is ~4-5 for my trailer with light electric

Thank you.... I’ve tried this already when I did my trial run and I was unable to get the trailer brakes to lock up on ‘light’ or ‘heavy’ with max gain. I know my trailer brakes are good because I just used my Ford F-250 last month with integrated brake controller and the trailer brakes locked up without issue..... now I’m puzzled why the dodge system works differently.

Any update on this issue? I'm coming from a P3 brake controller which was working flawlessly.

Not a problem with mine.

I settled on 5.5 with our 5200# trailer.

No update. Never got it to lock up per say.... I just run it on heavy electric around 6.0 and it seems to brake well enough for me.

Mine won't lock up either. Slows the truck and trailer down but no lock up.

I have the primus 90160 aftermarket brake controller. I just picked up trailer on Friday and ended up at 6.0, no lock ups and felt it stopped in line with the truck (no pushing or pulling feeling). Specs are in my signature, but the trailer is 6474 dry with a 790 tw dry. We’ll be going on our first camping trip in a couple weeks, with a little more weight obviously from when we picked it up, so I may adjust slightly. I just ordered some timbren drtt1500, I’ll be installing those and taking the time to readjust my hitch set up to make sure it’s right.
