[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 933718, member: 56140"] Electric brakes can be used in case of emergency. Sometimes, when hauling a trailer, it can become unstable. With Electric brakes, you can activate them to get the trailer under control. Unlike Electric Brakes, Surge brakes are passive. The harder you hit the brakes, the harder the brakes work. If it were up to me, I would ban surge brakes. No control over the trailer brakes is bad news. Being someone that had a trailer go wild on me and almost taking the truck and load over a hill, possibly to my death, without the control over the trailer brakes, I would not have survived the incident. That alone is enough reason to NEVER trust surge brakes. Tom [/QUOTE]
