I have seen a truck definitely new enough to have ABS slide into the middle of an intersection because the dump body trailer they had loaded up with roof tear off didn't have brakes.
I don't know what the total install cost would be. My brake controller is for up to a 2 axle trailer with lots of features and cost $120. Wiring to a car was kind of a PITA.
That's the problem, the general public doesn't understand what all goes into a properly setup tow rig. Generally people see an empty 2x2 Reese hitch and that's their ticket to tow what ever they want because they saw an advertisement showing a truck that looked like what they have pulling a insane load up ludicrous grade.
I'm more worried about stopping. I guess that's how you know you are getting old.
