2013 1500 Trailer Tow question

[DiGangi]

So I have a trailer that I need to tow. Have a 2013 1500 non Hemi 4.6 4x4. Manual says there are 4 different trailer tow modes but I only seem to get this one and cant find any others. Am I doing something wrong or how would I find any other options.

Those aren't tow modes those are electric brake activation modes I think you have to choose what one you want through your u connect. I think. It's been ages since I changed those. I turned mine to the heaviest setting then adjusted the trailer brake controller to what I need for each trailer.

You should be able to manually adjust the gain on the trailer brake controller. I'm pretty sure what you are seeing are just presets for different trailers, but manually adjusting the controller will override it. The higher the number, the harder it engages the trailer brakes.

The different modes (Trailer 1-4 and electric / EoH) are selected on the 8.4" radio screen on my '16

There's the ability to save four different presets but the is also settings for Electric and Electric over Hydraulic in both light and heavy (4 modes).
The gain adjust the braking curve not the mode profile. The OEM. brake controller uses not only braking force but vehicle speed and other variables to determine how/when the trailer brakes are applied.
