I too am a Ford guy. Read up on your factory brake controller and be sure you understand how to set it up before you leave...on the Ford controller, you need to:
- Designate the name of the trailer to be towed (you can set up several in a list)
- Designate type ("electric" or "electric over hydraulic")
- Set overall braking effort (light, medium, heavy) for each trailer.
Each preset trailer will then have full use of the 0-10 gain control with these initial settings for each trailer towed. In my case, this allows me to have pre-set conditions for towing either my 17K# fiver or my 7K# cargo trailer (1 braking axle). When I hook up, I need to tell the F350 which trailer I am towing.
I'm assuming that your Chevy will have a similar setup routine.
Hope that helps. Congratulations on your new tow vehicle!
