I have towed my 382 with 06 F350 dually. Truck towed ok, I wish I had a standard again, but oh well. Stopping was another story. The trailer has 6 disc brakes with an elec/hyd brake setup. The braking system is working ok, but the claipers were very corroded by salt. Not all of the brakes were applying equally, some not at all.
I did a complete brake and bearing job on the trailer, and now it stops on the dime. You just always have to leave enough distance between you and the guy in front. I always tow as if I do not have any trailer brakes, and always have enough stopping room. You never know when you are going to hit the brakes, and have a broken wire or burned fuse, and that dually will not stop on time.
