Trailer Brake Question

If you are traveling about 5 mph on gravel and squeeze the brake controller, can you lock up your traler brakes or does it stop you slowly. Controller set a 6.5.

Depends on how much pressure is put on the brake controller...a little and the rig will slow/a lot and tne trailer brakes lock.

I get at least two to lock up, maybe all 4, at 6.3 on a "normal" gravel driveway.
Trillogy set at 6 with the boost set at 3, sliding the lever all the way to the left, in a less than jerking motion.

I hear lockup on mine in those conditions but don't know if that's all 4 wheels. On pavement it will not lock them.
