Robert,
The only thing that I can add to what Steve told ya, is go with the controller for three axles. That way you won't have to get another one down the road ( like I did ) when you get a bigger trailer...........

Re: Trailer brakes
 

Good advise everyone...Brakes on both axles are the best especially with a "lighter duty" pick-up. Hydraulic brakes are good ...but, do add a ton of tongue weight. The "stance" (level) or ball hight is critical as well and to prevent sway the trailer should be a 60/40 ratio. Any U-Haul Center or uhaul.com has several brake controlers listed / available.
