[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 379388, member: 483"] I used to think the same until I towed with my dad's truck who has one of those $200 Tekonsha inertia units. There's something inside that applies brakes lightly under light braking loads and allows full power under heavy braking. It was actually really nice not having the trailer be full-on every time I tapped the brakes so I got one for my new tow rig and have enjoyed it ever since. It also has memory slots for loaded and unloaded trailer so that you don't have to adjust all your settings when the trailer is empty. You just click over to the preset and you're not always locking the tires up. The when you load it you just click over to loaded mode and everything is tight again. [/QUOTE]
