Re: Adding brakes...

I would use electric breaks.
with a brake conntroler in vehicle.
It would cost you half of that installed.

Re: Adding brakes...

I would not use electric "breaks". Stick with disc brakes if possible.

I wouldn't use electric brakes either if I were in the OPs situation. I have electric brakes on my trailer and they work very well, but I live 1200 km from the ocean. Saltwater + soft iron magnet cores = corrosion problems.

Re: Adding brakes...

smokingcrater. The post comes right from there web page as to state requirments, not from the Federal requirments.Commercial requirment has nothing to do with it. They say any trailer 3000lbs or more.Nowhere does it stipulate commercial as to this rule.

ok, my statement still stands... Is that his state? Every state is different. And there ARE federal requirements for commercial vehicles, which is why I mentioned it.
