Thanks again Darwin, I will probably try the no brake option unless the brake option fits the budget, which it probably will.

Just be careful. Some states require brakes if over 3500 lbs. fines are steep!
With brakes, I stop in 2/3 the distance, and it saved a collision twice so far. I use Brake Buddy, but anything will do.

I tow the 2010 Equinox with a 32 foot gasser. I took it into the mountains out west so I had a brake system installed. The SMI unit. The Tow bar and the base plate are blue ox. I don't really think the rig needed the extra stopping power in flat country but I was very thankfull I had the brake system going down hill on long declines. What ever you buy get something that is convenient to hitch up and detach. That is why I stayed away from those floor board boxes.
