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...

Yeah..the OPs topic is about un braked trailers. Most replies have been on topic...until now.
I bought a '97 16' 2900 gvwr bumper pull utility trailer with tandem 3500 lb axles with one axle braking from my trailer mfg just down the road.
Now the trailer mfg says they don't single brake a tandem axle trailer anymore...thankfully. Dangz thing was dangerous with just half a load.
A 2900GVWR trailer with tandem 3500lb axles was dangerous with "half a load" i.e. 1500lbs? Must have been one poorly built trailer.
You must have some numbers crossed around.
