yeah ok I would assume that but do they work well

Sure they work good, just time consuming to rig it up and running an air line to it.

Yes, once installed properly they work well for applying the brakes on the towed truck. Make sure your secure & adjusted properly as if your relying on it to work & it doesnt or your set up too tight & dragging the towed trucks brakes then your worse off than not having a brake buddy.

They work great once you get them set up and balanced right. They are quite time consuming to set up and pretty expensive to purchase so be sure your charges reflect its use. Like Mr. Wagner and Orcas Mentioned, They really shine on those real heavy loads and mountainous terrain.

winter coming, usually tow a lot of loaded highway plows they get pretty heavy, may be of great use
