This is my opinion for what its worth to you. I always figured that surge brakes were adequate when they are maintained and set up properly. Elecftric brakes are different. Electric brakes can be working fine one day and not the next. I used to maintain a fleet of trailers for a contractor , he had 21 trailers,some single,some dual and some triple axle. I could go over the brakes,instal new magnets and shoes,lube all moving parts and a week later the trailer would be back in with some problem,that's their nature. We also found it was cheaper to buy the complete brake assembly than to rebuild. Surge brakes on the other hand don't seem to have as much go wrong,if the brake lines are good and the shoes adjusted the trailer will work with your truck as you brake.I guess it depends on how much hauling you are doing,but if the trailer is used sporadically , there is nothing wrong with surge brakes

Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
