I totally agree and definitely make sure you have working trailer brakes my cousin totaled his 71 k10 swb hauling my grandpa's 10,000lb backhoe trailer trying to slow down because it started to get out of control he didn't have a trailer brakes hooked up and jack knifed it doing 50mph it ripped the hitch from the frame trailer came around and hit front of truck and still had enough momentum to take out a box for traffic signals
