Um.duh...
before you worry up fixing the jeeps brakes..

does the trailer have brakes..DO THEY WORK!!

don't try to fix what's not broke...

sorry but I tow a trailer behind two other pickups
a 2500 diesel and 1500 gas..the only reason when these two aren't quite
right..that I don't use the jeep is that it doesn't have the trailer brake controller..
if push can to shove..i'd use the jeep..without the controller..
it would stop the trailer better anyway.

fyi both other trucks are dodges...
the 2500 would do better without trailer brakes than the 1500
ever test you anti lock brakes??? on wet roads..with a trailer??

I upgraded to the EBC pads and rotors much better than the stock ones, they weren't that expensive.

Thanks for the post but I am in Europe trailer braking is independent from the car/ truck pulling it. In new money trailer over 750kg carrying capacity has to have independent brakes on all wheels.
