Regardless of what gear you use, you're still gonna have the force of the tow dolly pushing into you on a steep downhill incline. The dolly brakes function on it's own.

THOR #8617
Finished a trip recently from Virginia Beach to Branson Missouri going thru the mountains using a master tow dolly with surge drum brakes. EEZtire tpms showed very little rise in temperature going down some long steep grades. The exhaust brakes were very active and a couple of times I had to stab the brakes. All was good.

Experience speaks louder than self-acclaimed engineers!
