"Also quite a few states have towing restrictions once weight is over a certain minimum for brakes on the towed vehicle."
Once again, it must be stated that such laws refer to "trailers", and the legal definition of "trailer" in many states does not include a towed motor vehicle.
Do NOT trust any list of towing laws found on the internet. I have yet to see one that isn't inaccurate in many ways. Sometimes the inaccuracies are minor, such as stating that Montana has a speed limit for towing vehicles (there is no such law) or that the legal length for a truck/trailer/trailer combination is 65 feet (No, it is 75 feet). Sometimes the inaccuracy is a little more major, such as stating that Montana has no braking requirement for towed motor vehicles (actually, there is such a requirement. It is called a Braking Performance Law, and it applies to all vehicles and combinations of vehicles. See MCA 61-9-312)
