I don't think you need or want electric brakes...hydraulic brakes work OK. IMO if you are traveling on the highway you want good breaks period. If you are taking it down the street to splash 2X per season...remove all breaks as they will seize up and be a real PIA to use your trailer at all.

Most trucks can pull more than their rated load but check your hitch and receiver and make sure it is really solid, too much tongue weight can also a problem so check that as well. I have pulled and 11000# boat out of the water with a truck that is rated for 10K with no problem. I will not take it on the highway but in and out for a quick haul is not a problem. 4WD in Low and it comes out without much issue.
