Howziss for covering all the bases?

"What Herb K., Richard P., and Clay said!" *and* consider - if your rig is
"nice-n-light" and your "geographical situation/traffic warrants"... simply going
the (easy-peasy) Torflex route while leaving the rig brakeless. (Gasp!)

Been there/done that on a 15-meter glass ship/trailer combo that - for decades - I
towed w. a 2,600 lb, unboosted/drum-braked, vehicle, throughout the high plains
and intermountain west...with nary a (negatively) exciting moment behind the wheel
of that particular combo. That was after some years of towing the same rig w. an
early version of "a Torflex-like" welded-spring, brakeless, axle whose
spring-attach-welds broke on both sides of the axle.

I've also installed an electric brake controller on wifey's Tacoma (easy
enough)...but heard "some Fords" are bears in that particular department.


What do you use for a parking brake, if the trailer is brakeless?
