When I'm just towing locally normally within a half hour I don't use it. I can tell you at highway speeds it definitely feels a lot more secure. We had somebody cut us off in Tampa and I had to slam on the brakes. we left some black lines on the freeway, but everybody was safe and the surge brakes did their job.
I'd seen some pictures of that enabled and wondered why mine didn't show it. I have ForSCAN so will do that. Thanks!
By default the truck will start to display temps at a given threshold. I dont know the exact breaking point but lets say below 230 it just shows the gauge 230 and above it displays the gauge and the numbers.

Yes, ours was a skid steer and not a utility vehicle. I was overly motived to get this job done. At one point, I stopped (attempted to stop) headed downhill on the steepest part of the dirt road we were traveling on and trailer pushed the Ridgeline down the hill with the wheels fully locked. Not good. Not smart.Skid steer or the "utility vehicle" he's talking about. Had to be one small skid steer or one helluva ride
That's pretty light compared to typical skid steers -- that's only 4,100lbs. The ridgeline's wheelbase and mass are comparable to a RCSB F150. Did the trailer have brakes? Towing that should have been relatively uneventful.Yes, ours was a skid steer and not a utility vehicle. I was overly motived to get this job done.

That is my tiny wife operating it.
Except for ascending and descending one hill with the dirt road, it wasn't too bad.
