Thanks for all the replies.  I am in Toronto/Ontario, however I do most of my traveling down to the US.  
Allot of trips through Western NY for my sons Motocross racing, and down to Florida and Georgia through out the winter.
I dont unerstand how the TOAD Brakes work? or if I HAVE to have it.

Now I just need to find a deal on a Good Hitch rated for at least 7000LBS

I would go with a 10k blue ox setup. Very sturdy, easy for one person to handle, and the towbar can be used with any vehicle you might happen to get in the future, just install a baseplate on the toad. if you have more than one toad this setup would really be the way to go.

Without actually plotting a route on google maps, it doesn't look like you would need brake assist in your pickup.  Ontario and New York do not require it according to the link.

I used to pull a GMC Envoy with no brake assist and if I would of had a emergency stop situation I probably wouldn't have been able to stop. Then last year we traded cars and I wanted to be able to haul our golf cart also so I got the base plate for my 3/4 ton extended cab 4x4 gmc and put the M&G air brake assist on the truck and I couldn't believe how big the difference in stopping was. I wouldn't tow with out one now that I used one. Here is a link to there web site  http://www.m-gengineering.com/ they work of the air brake on the bus and have a emergency breakaway also and installed in about 2 hours plus if you trade vehicles you can trade in for your new vehicle with a small price. Good luck Jason
