Dexter axel brake up grade
We have a large teardrop trailer,(I know kind of an oxymoron), and the TV is a Subaru Outback 3.6L H6. The tear has 7" brakes on a Dexter axle. Dexter says there is no way to upgrade to 10" brakes. ...

The current Subaru is 2012 3.6L, previous TV was an 01 3L which had near the same horse power but required premium. The main problem was the about 4,000 drop in altitude in 12 miles between Tioga Pass and Lee Vining. The 01 also would not let you over rev the engine and had one less gear then the 12.
I have never been able to lock up the trailer brakes, and yes this is perhaps a bit of paranoia but our first tear did not have brakes and it was scary even in the hills of southern Ohio. You can get away with things, until you can't. My understanding is that depending on which axle I may be able to upgrade.
