    My 2020 trailer came standard with surge brakes. In regards to legality of brake requirements, in IL, trailers rated for 3000# or more require brakes. Not sure if other states require the same.

    My 188P does not have the pronounced heavy duty keel like my 178 did. Also, mine was made in Flippin so not sure if further changes have been made since the move to Lebanon.
