I'm having a hard time speaking with someone live from the DMV to answer this question.

Does anyone here happen to know the trailer laws in Massachusetts? I want to trailer my C4S using my X5 but don't know if I need to have an electric brake controller installed or can I do with the "surge brakes"?

I don't want to have to muck around with a brake controller. I am looking to buy an aluminum trailer that's roughly 850 lbs to carry a car that would be roughly 3300 lbs. Total pull is definitely less than 5000 lbs.

Thanks!
