Trailer Brakes
Check the Maximum trailer towing-load table in Weight Limits (Search), and if your trailer weight exceeds the value in the TOTAL TRAILER WEIGHT (Trailer without brake), trailer brakes are required.
If your trailer has brakes, make sure they meet regulations.
Do not connect a hydraulic trailer-brake system to your vehicle's brake system:
Connecting a hydraulic trailer-brake system directly to the vehicle brake system is dangerous and will result in inadequate braking and possible injury.
