Does Curt RVi Shadow 2 Flat Tow Brake System Adjust Sensitivity On Hills?
Updated 08/08/2025 | Published 08/07/2025
Question:
I flat tow a 2018 Jeep Cherokee with my diesel pusher. Will this brake system adjust on downhill grades?
asked by: Sheila
Expert Reply:
Yes it will, Sheila. The Shadow 2 Curt Braking System # RVi94FR uses a slope-sensing accelerometer to apply proportional braking based on inertia, and it’s smart enough to stay consistent regardless of uphill or downhill terrain.
So even when you're descending through Arizona’s mountains, you won’t get extra sensitivity or unwanted brake drag. That slope compensation really helps keep wear down on your Cherokee’s brakes too. The included Bullseye wireless monitor will give you real-time feedback in your coach.
Are you new to flat towing or is this not your first rodeo? If it's your first time, let me know if you need any starter tips or the complete towing setup.
