Surge brakes vs electric brakes
Surge brakes totally depend on the stopping resistance of the tow vehicle. So as the TV skids, the trailer makes less stopping effort at the most inconvenient time. Electric brakes have less of this problem because the brake controller always knows that you have your foot on the brake pedal as it guesses what to do.
Modern tow vehicle skid control and anti-lock brakes help a lot, but we don't have those on our trailer wheels.
