I towed a yard of dirt (1800 lbs) with my Prius. I regularly tow a jetski in the summer. No trailer brake. I just leave a much larger gap in front of me and begin braking much sooner. I'm so gradual with the brakes that I only use regenerative braking instead of friction.

I also didn't use a light controller, and instead wired the LEDs directly into the existing wiring. No turn signals, but the running and brake lights work.
