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...

GOTTA have trailer lights, but if it were me I would at least give it a test run and try it out.
Back before I knew trailer brakes were a nice thing to have, I towed lots of car trailers (with cars) with older half tons than that. Early to mid 90's trucks. The cars were 3-3500 pounds by themselves, plus the trailer weight.
Never had a problem with braking. Even with trailer brakes I give myself way more room to stop though (of course).
That said, sounds like you are fine with holding off. Nothing wrong with that either.
