Find the Perfect Trailer Brakes for Your Trailer

Whether you’re deciding between electric or hydraulic brakes, figuring out axle ratings, or looking for the best fit for your trailer wheels, we’ve got the answers to keep your towing safe and stress-free.

A good quality caliper or measuring tape is essential—having a wrench on hand can help with removing drums too!
For 17-1/2 inch wheels, consider your trailer's load capacity, braking power needs, and whether you prefer drum or disc brakes. Electric drum brakes are easier to maintain and cost-effective, but if you're towing heavy loads, hydraulic disc brakes provide superior performance and safety.
It all comes down to your trailer's weight and how you plan to use it! Electric brakes are a solid choice for most towing setups and pair easily with a brake controller. For heavy loads or serious terrain, electric-over-hydraulic brakes are the way to go—they offer smooth, powerful stopping that's perfect for boat or horse trailers.
If your brakes feel weak, make strange noises, or take longer to stop, it's time for a check-up! Look at the brake pads, magnets, and wiring for wear and tear.
