    If you don't have a brake controller in your truck the trailer brakes won't work.

    You also need the 7 pin plug (round) on your truck for your trailer brakes to work.

    Some equipment trailers have surge brakes. Not very common anymore but they are still out there. The coupling/tounge of the trailer slides back when you brake, applying the trailer brakes. No electric brake controler needed. Also, in PA, all trailers over 3000 lbs gross require trailer brakes. Every axle of the trailer needs to have brakes on them too.
