You are answering a really old post, but the Prodigy won't apply the brakes unless you apply the truck brakes, but the tow haul mode will use the transmission to slow you down. Tapping the brake pedal once will shift the trans into a lower gear, depending on the program you have in your vehicle it could kick down two or more gears to help slow you down without pushing any more on the brake pedal. On my V-10 that is how it works and it works well in slowing you down.
