Description of the problem	Truck is rated to tow 9100lbs, and includes an integrated trailer brake controller for use with electric trailer brakes (which is new for 2016 tundra's). The first time i hooked the truck up to the trailer, i set up the trailer brakes using the owners manual. After pulling out onto the street i immediately noticed that when i pressed the brakes the trailer brakes failed to engage. My trailer weighs nearly 8000lbs. Luckily, the manual slider works to engage the trailer brakes, but even on a gain setting of 10 (max) the foot brake fails to adequately engage the brakes on my trailer. I have tried 2 other trailers, and talked to multiple 2016 tundra owners online and this problem is consistent across all tundra's towing any type trailer. Under hard brakng at any speed my trailer wants to jacknife and push the truck out of it's way, because the brakes on the truck are engaging to max and the trailer brakes are hardly engaging at all even on max gain setting. This is a serious issue that needs to be resolved and toyota is not coming forward with a fix. They claim the controller is "working as designed", but i tow 8000lbs behind me and without adequate trailer brakes a serious accident is just waiting to happen. Someone needs to step in and force toyota to address this serious issue before someone is hurt or killed. Luckily the manual slider still works, but that is a bandaid solution every tundra owner can't be expected to drive around manually applying the trailer brakes separate from the foot brake. If i can stop my trailer faster when manually applying the trailer brakes than the truck will stop with just the foot brake, than something is obviously defective! In what scenario would toyota ever want my truck to stop less quickly in a max braking situation? It doesn't make sense, and they need to come up with a solution!
