I pull a Honda CRV 4x4. You need some type of brakes on that toad. If you get in an accident your hanging out there if you didn't have surge and breakaway brakes on that toad. I used a Readybrake system. It's the cheapest one I found and it works good. I was more concerned with a breakaway. I didn't want my CRV becoming an unguided missile speeding down the interstate looking to crash into a bus load on nuns. I can't stress enough how much this will hurt your quality of life if you don't get toad brakes and something goes wrong. Most states require a breakaway system to stop the toad if it gets loose. Some states require surge braking as well. I bought mine through Walmart.com. It was pretty cheap and made the drive stress free. The surge braking really helps those hard stops as well. If your standing on the brakes without surge braking it puts excessive pressure on that tow bar where it's on the ball. Again, liability..
