Brake controllers

[wushaw]

I have heard the new ford controllers won't work with a electric over hydraulic brake set-up other than that they get good reviews.

on the subject of brake controllers, Dose anyone have any experience with the ford factory installed units? I just bought an 07 250 superduty with the built in controller. It looks like it should work fine but thought Id ask.

I haul my '06 JD3720 w/ cab, fel and Bush Hog with my '07 F-250 4x4 SuperCrew Super Duty and have had no issues at all. I have it set at 8.5 but, I live in relatively flat Florida so can't speak for any really steep grades or dips you may have to handle. My trucks GVW is 9999 and Net Weight is 6862. Can't remember what my tractor, as described above, and my trailor weighs. I also upgraded my hitch using a solid one purchased when I bought my new trailer for the tractor. I have 7150 miles on it so far, no issues. I've hauled it 2 times and both have been uneventful and that's a good thing.

I pulled my first trailer with the new ford today. 24' tag along deck over with a 4' dove tail. trailer weighs 4000#+
tractor (Ford 2910 w/ loaded tires) around 5500# and the ford factory controller worked fine. easy to set the gain, and has warning messages on your dash to show if it unhooks or has any errors, I only pulled 15 miles this morning to the office but after work I have 40 or so miles round trip to haul the tractor to my buddies house and pull up some bushes. Yeah I know I could use the new f250 to pull the bushes but then I wouldnt get to haul the tractor on the new trailer, with the new truck
