To Brake assist or not to brake assist ?
Ok, new to the Class A lifestyle, had a Fifth wheel in the past. Looking to setup my tow vehicle. I purchased a 2019 Kia Soul, weighs less than 3,000 lbs. So question is this. Go with no brake ass...

The only foolishness is those people telling others they serve no purpose and aren't required. Even if they're within all the weight ratings and state requirements there's a considerable better chance they'll come out ahead if a emergency braking or toad issue arises.
So have you replaced the stock brakes on your toad with the highest performing aftermarket brakes available? There’s a considerable better chance...
But if I had to "tow" a significant amount with my toad, then yes a braking system is used. I wouldn't rely on the cars brakes to do all the work. Many cars specify using a secondary braking system if towing. The toads brakes stops the toad as a singular vehicle just fine, just as it assists in reducing the motorhome stopping distance by not relying on the Motorhome brakes to do all the work.
