Towing Laws
It's not only where you live, it's also where you are going.
Click on the states that you are traveling through to find the minimum towing weight requirement. If what you are towing exceeds the weight, an auxiliary braking system is required.

Can't speak for the other states but for Florida, that weight(3000 pounds)applies to a TRAILER in tow, NOT a vehicle in tow. Towing a vehicle WITHOUT auxiliary braking is entirely legal altho I think it is a good idea to have toad brakes.
