- 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.

What I wish Ford would tell us is what weights it considers to be light, medium and heavy for the initial setting. Is a 15,000 lb trailer considered medium or heavy?
