Ok. At least they installed a top notch controller. Did you get the paperwork and quick start guide with it?

If not then go to the tekonsha website and get it. It will explain how to set the controller for proper towing. Coming down hills can be daunting if your not familiar with the controller, how it functions and proper set up. I have a prodigy (first gen) and I don't heat up my truck brakes bringing 16,000 pounds down a steep grade. I DON'T have tow/haul mode so I "work" the trailer brakes a bit and then both.

I'm on my iPhone so typing out the whole explanation would give me a callous on my finger LOL. If someone doesn't explain it to you, I will get to my iPad where it's easier to type.
