I just rented a small U-Haul with maximum 2,700 pound gross weight and it has no brakes.

Required minimum tongue weight is under 200 pounds so over 2,500 pounds on axle is possible. I don’t know how U-Haul gets it approved, but trailer will be going across multiple state lines. I know technically responsibility is on driver, but expect U-Haul wouldn’t rent it if illegal.

I’m guessing (more like estimating/predicting) this U-Haul trailer will affect my E-350 van’s braking more than when a compact car without brakes is towed behind a large motorhome. The trailer isn’t ideal, but seems legal. My main concern is heavier traffic than usual this weekend, so trailer brakes would be nice to have.
