It is better than the Prodigy. ken __________________ Amateur Radio Operator\|*Practicing for our retirement!* 2008 Cameo 35SB3 - 2002 7.3L Crew Cab Dually w/ a SCMT - Max Brake - Travel with one Miniature Schnauzer, one Standard Schnauzer and one small Timneh African Gray Parrot

Since it's connected to the on-board computer it can adjust the trailer braking based on the amount of braking from the TV. You will love the new truck. Just traveled from Western NY to Central FL. cruised most of the way in 6th gear. __________________ 2011 Chevy Silverado 4x4 3500 HD LT Extended Cab, DRW, Duramax/Allison, 2010 Montana 2955 RL with just about everything, MorRyde IS w/Disc Brakes, dual ACs, auto level, auto sat dish, combo washer/dryer.
