Good question. I pull a car dolly and 14ft van trailer for weekend dump runs and furniture moves. Neither one has brakes. Tho the car dolly used to have surge brakes at one time but the brake lines rusted out.

They now sell prop wash in 5 gallon containers. For those of us who have large props to wash.

Towed a boat for a friend waaay back in the day. Also towed a 8x10 cargo full of tools and shop stuff when my dad moved his shop. But in the last six years, towed my life across the country four times in a packed cargo trailer. Was about all she could do with 285s and 3.55 but the engine never complained. Just powered along. If I had 4.10s it would be fun to see just how much would break the T-case cause the trans and engine aren't going anywhere.
