[QUOTE="Chaparral, post: 3836098, member: 49817"] What kind of electric brakes do you have? What experience? 1/2 tonne truck = small trailer. FWIW I regularly tow about 10-12,000 pounds in cattle or hay or equipment or horses. Cannot stress enough how dangerous people are. Pass you just to cut you off so they can stop and turn. They can stop. YOU CANNOT!!! Go smaller. Get proper brakes and harness installed. Go smaller. Load levelling helps to a point, it will NOT help you stop. Remember you are now really long. Bumper pulls act up when unbalanced. You may have a full safe load limit of 7,500 pounds. Use safety chains. I have seen three trailers so far this year going down the road without a drive vehicle. Did I ask you how you plan to stop? [/QUOTE]
