Re: integrated break controller I wanted to express a serious safety concern I have with an item that now ships with the 2016 Toyota 5.7L Tundra's - the built in / integrated break controller for use when pulling trailers/campers/etc. It seems that regardless of the power setting, no noticeable power is supplied to the trailer brakes, even at its highest setting. It feels like the trailer/camper is pushing the truck, which can be a serious issue when stopping. This would happen every time I would tow and I was always very worried about causing an accident if I needed to stop quickly or if the road conditions were not idea. I've never felt this with other break controllers. It's my understanding Toyota has not acknowledged this as being an issue yet. After talking to many other Tundra owners everyone has the same issue, I've not talked to anyone that has a working integrated break controller in their 2016. I've taken out my integrated break controller that came in my 2016 Toyota Tundra and replaced it with an after market brake controller out so I can property brake with my camper attached. For now my issue is resolved, however, I am however very worried about others that might be using the integrated break controller and the huge potential for a serious accident because their trailer or camper brakes are not working. Please look into this before any serious accidents happen. Thanks!

The integrated brake controller is not work when applying the brakes in electric brake mode. Took my Tundra out for a test drive with my 24' 3200 lb travel trailer. I set the gain to 10 and hit the manual slide and the trailer tires locked up. Stepped on the brakes and couldn't feel any brakes being applied to the trailer. I would have expected the trailer tires to lockup when I hit the brakes with a gain of 10. This could make a very dangerous situation.
