    Yet another reason I love Toyota. They won't let beginner techs touch recalls. You have to be with Toyota a minimum of two years with certain certifications to do some of them, and even longer with more certs to do a good bit of them.

    The brakes were not activating, the brake controller is a good one and has indicators of brake activation and amount of braking, etc. The trailer mover easily enough and rolled fine, it's just a big trailer and a steep hill, and some missing info on our part! We've hauled a variety of different trailers for years with horses and bikes, but backing uphill is something we hadn't done and just didn't know it was so hard on the transmission.
