My questions are: Is there a weight ratio of RV to Toad that dictates the need for a breaking system? Is it the law to have a breaking System for the Toad? Is it a safety issues? My Kia weighs in at just over 2400lbs?
Planning this season to start towing so trying to find out the rules and issues involved here.

You need a supplemental brake system. I just traveled two months and installed, uninstalled my brake at least 30 times. 18 states. Many mountains, a few hard braking situations. It takes less than 3 minutes to install and initialize a brake and less than a minute to remove. I purchased a blue ox Patriot just before the trip and I'm very happy with it. Unwise not to have one.
