3rd Gen. 4 cyl pulling camper question

The first time I drove up hill, I was so freightened you couldn’t have hammered a finishing nail into my ass. It was miserable. Now, it’s just laughable

 

They're not discussing the truck's brakes (you're correct: they are the same across all models). They're talking about brakes on the trailer/camper and OP getting a brake controller to operate them.

 

Have you ever towed in the western desert? These grades are miles long. You will have a slight grade that lasts for 20 miles. The Tacoma does not have enough power in s4 to do it, but a ton of power in s3. You end up getting cramps in your lower leg because of the minimal amount of throttle needed in s3.

 

Right - these grades go on and on and on and some are pretty steep... I would have thought ECT and S4 would handle them with ease but it doesn't happen.

 

Thank you all for the information and responses!!
