Where was this note at. I haven't been able to find anywhere that this is stated?

The combination of tow command and tow mode working together in a panic stop is incredible. Driving back through the Poconos coming down a long steep hill a car spun out and everyone got on the brakes. The only difference I had a total of over 25,000# to slow down. It amazed me. No pushing or brake lock up, just smooth stopping power. Glad I did not have my older 99, would have ran into someone. Under all stopping conditions it has worked very well. Would not order a truck without it.

I added mine. I have not come across any trailers that would use a TBC. All the trailers I have hauled (a Tahoe boat and several U-Haul trailers) had surge brakes.
