w. brakes? I've read up a bit on the problems with U-Haul trailers, but as I cannot seem to find an alternative for a trailer, to tow behind my SUV, from Oregon to Indiana, I think I will go with U-Haul after all.

I've heard that towing a heavier trailer, behind a lighter car such as an SUV, increases the risk of accidents.

At the same time, I have heard that the smaller U-Haul trailers are dangerous because they don't have brakes. (though others say brakes aren't necessary with such light loads)


What is your (informed) advice?
