| Almost all US states require brakes on certain trailers and
other towed vehicles. Without brakes you run the risk of a ticket or even
worse, liability if an accident occurs because you were unable to stop. Here
is some very valuable information to help you determine if you are legal,
concerning braking, in your travels. |
Weight Limits for Towing without Supplemental Brakes

Key
'A' Must stop within a specified distance
'B' Not stated or no requirement
'C' Supplemental brakes always required
3) Do I have to have brakes on my trailer?
Oregon law requires that any vehicle or
combination of vehicles weighing less than 8,000 pounds must be able
to stop within a travel lane in 25 feet from 20 miles per hour. If
the vehicle or combination of vehicles weighs over 8,000 pounds, the
vehicle must be able to stop within a travel lane in 35 feet from 20
miles per hour. Check your owners manual of the tow vehicle to see
what the manufacturer recommends. Most manufacturers recommend
trailer brakes if the trailer and load weigh 1,000 pounds or more.
