My automatic and most of the towing packages give you the ability to  
take it in an out of overdrive and to drop gears.  Coming off the  
BigHorns, as an example, I take it out of overdrive, then drop it into  
2nd, then 1st gear.  These are on the gear dash display.

I am interested in what "after market trailer brakes our gurus might  
recommend."  Cindy

Re: [RC] trailer brakes - Elizabeth Walker
Same here.  Manual transmission, with over/under drive.  I normally  
don't have to use my brakes much, if at all, going down a hill, as I  
just drop it into third.  I also tend to use the gears to slow down  
coming in to a light.

I am thinking about getting another truck, though. Mine is a 1986, and  
showing its age.  Do they even make them with manual transmissions  
anymore?  I'd be interested in hearing from folks that trailer with  
automatic transmissions.  Like Carla said - what do you do going down  
a long hill to avoid riding the brakes?
