In my humble opinion, ANYONE who hauls more than 2000 - 3000 GVW trailer any significant distance without trailer brakes using a pickup truck is nuts.
My car hauler is rated 7000 GVW. Tare weight on it is an even 2100. Electric brakes. When I brought home the F30 HAN, I went through a Blackcat scale just for grins. GVW on the trailer was 7350 lbs while connected to the truck (in other words, the truck was taking some of the weight, my estimate is that I was running between 400 lbs and 500 lbs tongue weight)
That was the F30 HAN, and 600 lbs of wheel weights on the front of the trailer to balance her out. I did fine, the trailer did fine, and we made the 400 mile trip just fine. I also had the tires at the correct pressure and never went over 60.
