So yes, the problem is very repeatable, it's the default setting in the Tundra.    I traveled a Rocky Mountain mountain pass towing a 6,500# trailer and had extreme brake fade because unknownst to me the Trailer Brake Controller was off because I didn't setup a trailer in the dash. I manually controlled the gears and kept in 2nd gear down the entire grade.  My driving history is towing trailers with a old Ford Ranger ('95?) and 2014 Ford Expedition.  The Ford has brake controls and I would use it to tow 3,000#.  I don't remember if the Ford Ranger had a brake controller.  So my experience is limited.    I bought a brand new 22 Toyota Tundra and read the manual for pulling a travel trailer (TT).  I upgraded my travel trailer from 3,000# to 6,500# GVWR.  It was essentially my first towing trip with both vehicles.      I plugged in the TT.  Dashboard said \"Trailer Detected\".  I turned the dial in the middle to \"Tow Mode\".   Those signals said to me everything is good.  My mistake:  When I adjusted the gain manually in the dash it said \"Trailer Brake Controller Off\".  In my mind, I interpreted that as the manual controller was off.  Not sure why.  I should have stopped there.  But dash kept saying \"Trailer Detected\" so I kept driving.  Long story short, after driving the pass and nearly losing the brakes I stopped what I was doing and spent 30 minutes playing in the dash and reading the manual more.  I setup the trailer I was driving in the dashboard.  No where in the manual does it say \"trailer brake controller off until you setup trailer in dash.\"   When I set it up in the dash, I realized that the brake controller defualt was off, even if it says \"trailer detected\".  I could tell because the manual brake controller started working.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"TUNDRA","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
