I will be purchasing the Prodigy Brake Controller in the next day or so. What is the range that everyone is seeing their brake controller set to?
You do have the new style Tundra with the 5.7 correct?? If that is what you have then it should pull it fine. Backing up is a snap if you are experienced at it. Doesn't matter what tow vehicle you have if you aren't.

I believe there are other guys on here that have the same or very similar trailer and they are having no issues.

I would recommend an equalizer hitch with sway bars though. Make sure your ball mount and ball are rated for that much weight. Most ball mounts and balls you buy at the local parts store are only rated for 6,000lbs and 500lbs tounge weight.

I tow a 24' trailer with no equalizer or sway bars and it pulls just fine. It weighs about 2,000 less than the one you are looking at though.

I don't have a Prodigy. I have the time delayed Valley Journey 2-8 HD brake controller. The Prodigy is better but I don't know what setting you need on that one.
Good Luck!!
