Can I tow it without brakes a short distance?
OK. I just bought a 2007Ford F 150 with the 5.4 V8. Runs like a dream but does not have a 7 pin adapter yet. I have one ordered but want to take a short trip close to home, The trailer is an Econ 14BB...

You have lights, some apparently missed that.
How did you get the trailer home to start with?
I towed close to 3500# in a loaded 10x6x6 cargo trailer, no TT brakes, with a 1998 Ford Expedition with tow package. Pulled and handled it fine, porpoised at times, had to allow A LOT for stopping, no fun, it was definitely work towing that. If I was stopped and weighed I would have been illegal, trailer legally limited to 2990# by sticker, 3.5K axle equipped. Band and sound gear. Waiting is a good decision. Amazon Prime would have gotten you what you need in two days ;)
While you may not need it, a weight distributing hitch would make your towing much easier and keep you truck level for proper lighting and better handling.
