There is no question that disc brakes offer stopping power that is superior to drums. However, I'd like to comment on the original post where Theunz talked about locking up the trailer brakes. Years ago, adjusting the trailer brake controller (TBC) until the trailer brakes locked up at about 25 mph on clean dry pavement was the standard. That all changed with the advent of anti-lock brakes on TVs. Now, lockup is not a desirable thing. The guidance today is to adjust the TBC until the sensation of the trailer pushing the TV ceases. Additionally, the integration of anti-lock brakes and factory TBC on TVs makes it almost impossible to lock up trailer brakes.
