Ever noticed how your truck feels different when towing a heavy trailer? That's because trailer brakes and your vehicle's regular brakes are designed for very different jobs. Vehicle brakes are built to stop a lighter, more nimble mass, while trailer brakes need to handle a heavy, often swaying load without jackknifing. Getting your trailer's braking system matched to your vehicle's is key for safe, controlled stops, especially on steep grades.
