I don't think a truck that size has the brakes to successfully control
and stop a 36' trailer.

Don't think that's the issue so much. The trailer should have brakes
designed to handle it's weight.
The problem is the light duty nature of the truck in terms of engine,
transmission, frame, suspension, etc. To the best of my knowledge a
F-150 or the 1500 series from GM or Dodge are recommended for very
small 5th wheel trailers and that's a stretch for them. A 36 footer
is going to weigh in at 12,000 lbs or more. Way too much for a light
duty truck.
