??? How would brakes on front axle only be better than brakes on all axles? My figuring is that, with brakes on all axles, the break-away system has you covered, no matter how the trailer is loaded.Brakes on the front axle only would actually be the best case in that scenario.
Brakes on the rear axle only isn't even an option, as far as I've seen. I don't think that's done anywhere.Much like with a tandem axle trailer with brakes only on the rear axle going forwards.
Trailers usually come from the factory with brakes on front axle only. When shipped to dealers in states requiring brakes on all axles (e.g. Pennsylvania), the dealer has to buy the additional axle brake kit from the manufacturer, as this is usually a dealer-installed option.
