Where have you read that? I’ve consistently towed from 6-14K. Aside from adjusting between the heavy-electric/light-electric setting it has been seamless, and haven’t had any issues.

Thanks for your input, Just Google it and you will see all kinds of posts about guys complaining about it I'm glad to read the next post saying that it was a software issue that was taken care of, I feel much more confident now thank you for all your help and replies

I can’t figure how to change it from heavy to light

I think it's on the radio's(uconnect) settings menu: Trailer Brake
Vehicle Settings Menu Item
Trailer Select -- Trailer 1; Trailer 2; Trailer 3; Trailer 4
Brake Type -- Light Electric; Heavy Electric; Light EOH; Heavy EOH

As noted above, you change the brake type through the radio.
Each one of the trailer "settings" on the radio can be set for a different trailer. The truck will log the number of miles you tow that particular trailer.
