Thanks Dahkota for publishing the facts about California law. Most other states have similar requirements but there are a few (about 6 at lqst count) that do have more stringent requirements. Everyone that tows should make the effort to learn the laws that apply in your state or province, speaking of which, last time I checked there are no Canadian provinces with such laws except BC, and theirs is pretty loose. As I recall it is based on a towed weight of 2000 kg (4,400 lbs).
I am irritated by individuals that post misleading information but that is understandable considering how hard it is to dig out the real story. What is inexcusable is the practice of brake system manufacturers such as Brake Buddy to publish deliberately misleading information intended to trick people into buying their product.
