Have you ever tried to stop 15,000 pounds pushing you from the rear at 70 or 80 miles an hour ? Try it!

I may be missing the gist of your comment. However, if you are feeling pushed by that 15,000 pound trailer behind you, you don't have your brakes set properly. I have never, I repeat never felt pushed by the Montana behind me. The trailer brakes stop the trailer-as they should and don't "push" my truck. Before anyone jumps all over me for being an over-confident tower, I've never been even close to a near miss or a situation where I didn't think I could stop in time. Towing at 55 MPH or heaven forbid 70-80 MPH, shouldn't matter if you are aware of your surroundings and plan for your "out" as we were all taught in driver's training-whether towing or not.
I'll step off the soapbox now.
