Electric or hydraulic trailer brakes are essential, your front rotors are going to suffer either way, my trailer is 2200 pounds and it is scary in some instances. Been towing for many years and still sometimes I wonder. Tow with caution

Electric trailer brakes. a good brake controller. maybe load leveling bars and a sway control and some
carefull loading of the trailer to keep tongue weight where it should be and you should be able to tow safely and comfortably. When the combo is set up nicely there is no need to curl your toes when towing

My Airstream has electric brakes, but they need replacing, probably get the entire backing plate for each side, four bolts, two wires done. I will probably buy a Tekonsha brake controller for the Jeep. The trailer tows very nice, and level without brakes it will probably tow even nicer with brakes.
