I had never had brakes on a trailer before I got my new trailer last year for the V........now every timeI have to stop in a hurry I say, "man its nice to have trailer brakes".
Of course my trailer is new and not acting up yet. Like the other say, if its a short slow tow and you have a big truck, and you can stand the liability, take em off.

My trailer was brand new in 2005. The drum brakes were toast by 2007. I went to move the trailer one day and one side was locked. I love trailer brakes but salt really takes a toll on em. I just take it easy and remember to keep a good distance b/t other vehicles and start braking well before any stops and it doesn't seem to be a problem. I'm sure it wears out the brake pads on the Yukon much faster but its a trade-off.

My trailer had the flush kit from the factory. Flushed every time every time I took out of the salt. I spray the leaf springs at the car wash with freshwater immediately after taking out as well. Always put in at the lake when I get home which should help the trailer some too. The Yukon does a pretty good job stopping it so I'm not too worried about it. One less thing to maintain.

Are all disk brakes giving problems? Is it just one manufacturer? I installed a set of SS Kodiak Disks on one of the trailers. So far so good.
