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...

Surge brakes aren’t a good option for those that don’t have a propensity for maintenance. And far more costly and more involved to install.
Electric brakes are much easier cheaper and allow the ability to control the trailer brakes at will.
Personally I wouldn’t add brakes to a 2700 lb trailer behind a full-size anything with good brakes. My answer would be opposite for a smaller tow rig.
There’s a reason the law in many/ most states is 3klbs max with no brakes.
You can overthink it all you want but in the end it’s whatever you’re comfortable with.
