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...

Where did you find this information? I have looked thru my manuals and cannot find anything addressing this. Not questioning you. Just curious where to find it.
It doesn't.
Just more made up rvnet c rap.
Just for gits and shiggles I pulled up a random F150 owners manual (2018) and it states something to the effect of follow your state's guidelines or requirements for max trailer weight without trailer brakes.
Actually it does say it. Sorta. My 2022 F150 came with condensed manuals with the full manual available on-line. After searching thru that I found the reference to the 1,500 lb number. The manual says Ford "recommends" brakes on trailers over 1,500 lb. It does not say it is a "limit".
