Check the knob that adjusts the setting for the angle of
the controller. It is on the left side. It should have an
arrow that points straight down.
Does your trailer have brakes on both axles? If not you
will have inadequate braking when loaded. We had a
trailer at work that behaved just as you describe and it
only had brakes on one axle, When we replaced it we
ordered heavier axles with brakes on both. When
loaded and the controller turned up it will yank that
F350 backwards when you just touch the brakes
enough to turn on the brake lights. I only turn them up
that high when I am in heavy traffic.
So yes trailer brakes are ( should be) for stopping and
yours should be working better that they are.
