| Description of the problem | i own a 2015 tundra crew cab. The family and i love to camp, so we purchased a brand new camper. I hooked up the camper to the tundra utilizing the 7 pin connector. The dash display indicated the integrated brake control was working and fully functional. To my dismay, the brake control did not work to satisfaction and border lined a safety issue. With the gain turned up to 10 on electric mode, the camper's brakes barely engaged and rarely slowed down my truck. The camper is 7800 pounds. I have been reading forums and other tundra owners are having the same issues with their ibc.... There is not enough braking power with toyota's factory ibc. Several times going down hill i did not think the electric brakes were going to slow to stop my truck! My tundra did all the braking. I always had my family in the truck with me. Is there a recent service bulletin or update to this controller???? Aftermarket controllers work much better, but i want a clean look to my cab. Thank you |
