Here the law says you must have trailer brakes when the rig weighs 3200 lbs or more.
My rig weighs 1930 lbs.
I am fully complimentary with all provincial laws.

That should be 'fully complying'

My rig, with the 18'er and single axle trailer, was heavier than yours. My wife's Highlander, rated
for 3500 pounds, pulled and stopped it nicely. With the 5000lb rating, you should have no trouble.
They've beefed up the Highlander.

Nova Scotia

All trailers and semitrailers with a gross weight of load and vehicle of
more than 4,000 lbs. must have properly functioning brakes controlled by
the operator of the motor vehicle.

Does your tow vehicle and loaded trailer have a combined weight that
exceeds this spec?
