    I am not saying it is safe,or I would do it on a regular basis. But I am saying it can be done. And there are laws in NY anyway that say a trailer over a certain weight must have brakes It makes a big difference when the trailer has brakes. I would not tow a trailer that heavy without them. shawn

    I have to laugh when I think back to the late 70's when I pulled a U-haul trailer full of parts with my Cobra using a temporary bumper hitch. 4000+ pound car, a couple thousand pounds of trailer and parts, stopping with 4 non-power drum brakes! Ahh, those were the days! I never had any problem getting up to speed, though.
