RE: Trailering and Electric Brakes
hey guys,
looking real hard at a 6by14 enclosed aluminum trailer.
trying to figure out out the load limits and if brakes are required.
i will be towing it with a 2009 Yukon 4by4 (5.3L), i think it already has an Integrated Trailer Brake Control System, have to wait for my wife to get home so i can check.
The trailer itself has a curb weight of 1250, the contents of the trailer could be up to 2 sport bikes (lets say 425*2=850), plus maybe 500 lbs of gear, giving the trailer and contents a total of around 2600.
in my case would getting electric brakes on the trailer be a must?
in the case our GMC Yukon doesn't have the Trailer Brake Control System, approximately how much do you think an aftermarket one would be? i quickly scanned on ebay, dodge systems look like they go for around 250, does that sound about right? just not 100% sure if i am looking at the right product.
thanks in advance,
Jason
