Could you stop that much in an emergency??
With properly adjusted trailer brakes why would this be an issue?
Try a panic stop with whatever you have.
Works well? - then consider........Murphy's Law.
*If* the trlr became disconnected for whatever reason = tail wagging the dog.
And - vice versa if the TV brakes overheat.
The OP is a candidate for an upgraded TV - an MDT or HDT would work well. (A nice HDT can be had for less than a new pickup - with all the pulling and stopping capacity anyone could ever want.)

That 5er doesn't come close to needing a MDT!!
With a GVWR of 15,000# it could be towed/carried within ratings of a new 350/3500 SRW.
I really do dislike when people state you need a DRW to carry a 12,000# 5er, or a MDT to carry/pull a 15,000# fiver.
Get Real with your responses. :S
