I certainly agree with you. and I consider anybody who tows a toad and is too cheap to buy a braking/break away system to be fit that description.

Maybe you can use your Civil Suit winnings to purchase one for me?

I am leaving this month for a 10,000 mile trip to Alaska and back and have to save my money for Diesel. I hear it is pretty expensive in British Columbia on the way up.

If you buy one for me, I will put it in and take pictures for proof.

Help a brother out.

There is no Safari Requirement for trailer brakes. The warning in the sidebar says to consult my local regulations. I know you are going to make me look up my local regulations, so I preemptively did it. Even I was surprised!

Here they are in all their glory:

TEXAS § 547.401. BRAKES REQUIRED. (a) Except as provided by
Subsection (b), a motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, pole
trailer, or combination of those vehicles shall be equipped with
brakes that comply with this chapter.
(b) A trailer, semitrailer, or pole trailer is not required
to have brakes if:
(1) its gross weight is 4,500 pounds or less; or
(2) its gross weight is heavier than 4,500 pounds but
not heavier than 15,000 pounds, and it is drawn at a speed of not
more than 30 miles per hour.

WOW, I'M LEGAL! Who Knew! I love living in the great state of Texas, where common sense is still common.
