Pretty sure if a trailer in Fla. weights over 2000lb empty it requires brakes on one set of wheels. Tounge weights one thing but how it's distributed is the most important. I can't remember the exact ratio but it's something like 70 percent of the weight needs to be in the front of the trailer wheels. Also If your towing a high profile trailer more than 14' you should have a friction type sway control added to the hitch. You can find them at Reese.
