I must be a wimp. I wouldn't be on that road with my rigs. Truck alone, but no trailer.

A least the owner will have a good video record for the insurance company. That was an expensive oops.

Would going down in 4WD have helped at all?

No. I suspect the brake controller was at fault. An improperly adjusted, or junk time controller would not have provided enough trailer brakes allowing the trailer to push the truck.
