Brake Laws

Are you ordering a new trailer? Do not forget to check your state's brake laws, as brakes may be required in your state! Familiarizing yourself with state brake laws and your trailer package's minimum safe stopping distance, you'll be on your way to a better towing experience.

Many consumers are not aware of their state's brake laws or the serious potential hazards of towing a boat without trailer brakes. Yet many trailers continue to be sold without brakes in states that specifically require them. In most cases, this is simply due to a lack of consumer awareness and a lack of enforcement of the laws.

While most states require brakes on trailers with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 3,000 pounds or more, there is not much consistency or a national standard across the United States. Typically it becomes the dealer's judgement and responsibility to install brakes in those states that require them.

EZ Loader has been ahead of the curve and is leading the marine industry by making trailer brakes standard equipment for increased towing safety for all trailers 3000# or higher GVWR.

It can be difficult to stop a boat and trailer package and tow vehicle in an emergency stop without trailer brakes. Trailer brakes are a small cost in protecting your boat, trailer and tow vehicle.

For more information about brake laws in your state, you can contact your local Department of Transportation office, or go online and visit www.fhwa.dot.gov/webstate.htm for links to individual state DOT offices.
