What about a braking system? I'm betting your chassis requires one when towing over 1K.
I think you're confused on this subject. The type of chassis you have has nothing to do with having a toad braking system. The type of chassis does indeed have a tow weight limit plus a hitch weight limit. However, supplemental brakes are typically a state requirement where some have a "trailer" weight limit that requires supplemental brakes and may consider your toad as a "trailer". In other states they have a distance/speed stopping requirement that if you exceed requires toad supplements braking.
Also, as previously mentioned, the OP is getting the ReadyBrute Elite tow bar which has a built in surge braking system...therefore no additional toad braking devices are required.
Hope this makes it a little more understandable.
