I will have to drive it home under standard towing set up, about 60 miles in fast moving, heavy traffic, mostly level with a few small hills, to get it home. Once home it will sit until I can get it cleaned up and set up the way my wife and I want it. I will then install a brake controller and buy a distribution hitch."
Dont take it on the road at all without a brake controller installed! You will be breaking the law and putting yourself and others in danger.
The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 brake controller are plug and play because it comes with the wiring harness for your truck from that retailer. Note: Don't try and save a few bucks by getting a "time delay" controller.
One more comment. You will most likely be at the limit of your truck with that trailer. I would not pull it without a WD hitch. They are not very expensive and also very easy to install. Get one like this and be safe - at least equipment wise. Good luck and I hope you enjoy your trailer.:)

Thanks! Ok, so I'll get the brake controller done, and buy the WD hitch before I get the TT. Actually, IF I get this one. The seller is already telling tales.
