The coach was perfectly capable of stopping both the coach and the 3,000 pound toad, but if I ever had to absolutely slam the coach brakes on, the braking on the toad kept it lined up behind the DP, instead of allowing it to whiplash to the side. Like I said your call for you, but I would never tow without a toad braking system.

Depends on the weight of the toad:
Under 3000 Lbs "many" and "most" are inaccurate descriptors.
