How can you be sure that trailer brakes are not "supplemental" in function?
What is there to say that they have the power to stop 100% of the trailer weight?
I have researched it and cannot find any information on it.
Brakes on any vehicle are sized to the highest GAWR.
NHTSA says this about components of the GAWR:
"Gross Axle Weight Rating is the rated load-carrying capacity of an individual axle and wheel assembly. (It represents the load that may be steadily sustained by the components in the system; i.e., tires, rims, hubs, bearing, axles, brakes, suspension, sub frame, etc. with the GAWR limited by the components with the lowest working rating".
and
from AL/KO axles
(Gross Axle Weight Rating) is the maximum load that the axles will
carry and the maximum load the brakes will stop.
