Not enough truck to control the trailer when the trailer brakes fail. Towing is not about how much you can pull or carry. It is all about how much you can stop in a panic.
Just my humble opinion after nearly 50 years of towing.
Where can you see that the trailer brakes failed? Also, the truck is rated to stop the GVWR of the truck. The trailer has brakes that are to stop the trailer. If you want brakes rated to stop the truck as well s the loaded RV trailer, you need to be looking at a class 8 tractor.
