All,

First, you've been awesome in answering my recent questions and I've learned a lot and improved myPod because of it!!!!!!!

My TV is used and had the Ford factory tow package installed. My question is, how in the heck do I know if my TV is actually engaging the bracks in my 2018 166 rPod when towing?

Thanks in advance!!!!

Easy - hook up on flat ground - place your TV in drive and vehicle should move TV and TT forward, use your manual brake initiation, and TV and TT should stop, adjust as necessary, add boost, until TV and TT do move forward when in idle, that indicates brake controller is working.
