Unbraked trailer, towing limitations
Hey folks, I’m looking for a new tow vehicle for a rig coming in at 2700 lbs, loaded, per the scale. I decided to trade down to a more modest unibody suv like the highlander, telluride or similar wit...

My half ton truck calls for brakes over 1000lbs. And no matter how toxic science is to lawmakers, the laws of motion can not be repealed. I know I'm comparing grapes to grapefruit, but if a CMV is stopped with no brakes on a axle that axle does not count as far as weight limits.
Each vehicle has a GVWR. The brakes are designed to stop that weight plus a reserve for safety. If you hook up a trailer, and your GCVW is larger than the GVWR, you are running in that safety margin
