Hope they got er fixed this time. Trading is not a great option IMO. Eco boosts are dime a dozen and that won't help your trade in value.
If it doesn't do it for a while you're probably set.
Regarding trailer brakes, the newer integrated brake controllers are somewhat linked into the vehicle's nanny systems. I can't lock the trailer wheels on multiple trailers with multiple newer trucks of all 3 flavors, but my old Dodge with an old school Tekonsha brake controller will lock em up hard if I push the lever.
But unless you have something to compare to, either another truck or trailer, it may be the trailer brakes are glazed, out of adjustment, grease on them etc.
For your truck, it's likely just front rotors. Bad rotors drive me nuts and they'd be in the recycling bin yesterday if it was my truck. New pads and rotors are a simple and relatively cheap repair. Can be done in your driveway with even the most basic tools and spare tire Jack if you have to.
