We first started towing in 1996, towing a Geo Metro, 1800 lb. No aux. braking. When we graduated to a Geo Tracker weighing 2900 pounds, we added auxiliary braking. Now we are towing a MINI Cooper Roadster that weighs about 2800 pounds (less than the 3000 pound requirement for trailers in FL). In addition, when we have our motorhome, a 34' Newmar Ventana LE, full loaded with the car in tow, the TOTAL weight including the toad is over 1000 pounds less than the GVWR of the motorhome. We don't have an auxiliary brake at the current time.
