Travelnutz while I agree in theory the trailer brakes stop the trailer. The trucks brakes do significantly affect stopping the trailer.
My dually will stop whatever it is towing much faster /stronger/better than a SRW truck. I challenge your statements because I am basing my comments on experience towing with a dually vs. towing with a SRW truck.
The dually has more braking power and will control/stop the trailer significantly faster.
The features of the truck also impact trailer braking. Exhaust brakes are another way the truck stops the trailer.
Claiming that one can rely solely rely on the trailer brakes to stop the trailer is misleading. Especially for newbies that have no experience and don't know any better.
