The manual for my 02, 4.3L S10 indicates that for towed loads over 1000 Lbs gross, the trailer must have it’s own brakes. The dealer along with U-Hall advises I can probably tow a 4000Lb load with out trailer brakes. What is correct? Anyone have any practical experience?

I tow a 1000lb trailer and a 1600lb car with my 4.3L Blazer with no trailer brakes, and it works great...just my experience
