Re: toad , toad, toad, Reply #25 – 6 years ago California requires brakes for weights above 1,500 lbs.
Re: toad , toad, toad, Reply #26 – 6 years ago AFAIK, The CA vehicle code requires brakes on *trailers* 1500 pounds and over towed by a vehicle, but the requirement does not extend to *cars* towed by a motorhome. Not that one’s toad of any weight should not have an auxiliary braking system, but I don’t believe that it’s required by CA law. One can check the CA vehicle code; please post the code source if any pertinent/conflicting is found! Thanks.
Re: toad , toad, toad, Reply #27 – 6 years ago My bad, Joan. I was confusing it with the trailer requirement.

Well, CA does not have a weight requirement before toad brakes are required. The section 26458 says ALL brakes on towing and towed vehicles must be simultaneously applied, including power assist if the vehicles are so equipped... unless, the braking tests of section 26454 can be met.Codes Display Text.Steve 1 Likes Liked by: HiLola
