While some heavier pups come with electric brakes. The lighter ones usually don't. We had 5 pups over the years. The last one, a 12' box Viking, had a GVWR of 2600lbs. None of them, including that one had brakes. And in truth. I never felt the need for them.
We towed them with a 1978 CJ5, A 1989 Ranger, a 1998 Grand Cherokee, and a 1996 F150. Never a problem. I could stop any of them as quick as I can the 31' 6000lb TT.
