Texas requires brakes on any trailer (that term includes a car in tow) that weighs over 4,500lbs. Most four door Jeeps are over this number.

Other states have their own regulations. Most commonly they require brakes for anything over 3,500lbs, though some are lower, some higher. You need to be compliant with the regulations of the state you are driving in, the somewhat lenient Texas law doesn’t follow you around.

But mostly brakes are required because you need to give a care about the safety and well-being of everyone with whom you share the roads.

We tow an ‘03 Liberty with a Brake Buddy Classic braking system. It came with the MH. Works great and wouldn’t be without one.
