    My brother’s Ford Ranger got pancaked because he was pulling his new boat that was too big for the truck and couldn’t stop in time at a traffic light before ramming the car in front of him.

      That’s just irresponsible. Trailer brakes are absolutely necessary. The electric brakes on my previous boat trailer could stop the whole rig, if I hit the button on the controller.
