You don't want to be pushing through a stoplight if you are unprepared or underbraked( by neglect or design).


This is the thing that most people forget that scares me when towing anything. It doesn't take many downhill grades, or tight twisty down hill corners to start losing brakes on a little car. It takes caution to do so safely. Brakes and suspension are more of a determining factor in what a vehicle can carry than power.


But what about the 250lb dudes IN the car. If they can fit in the car then the brake should handle that or the 1000lb trailer behind the car. I think 1000lbs is not above and beyond most designed braking loads. no one should expect to stop in the same distance as without the brakes.... but you get my point.
