i read somewhere (on the internet) a listing of brake requirements by state....most states don't require brakes on the tow vehicle if it weighs less than 4k or so.

heres the by state list: http://www.brakebuddy.com/Towing-Laws
this listing seems a little better: http://www.readybrake.com/state_laws.html
