[Shop-talk] trailer advice needed

[Phil Nase]

I want to buy a trailer big enough to tow an Austin Healey Sprite.  My tow
vehicle is a 04 Toyota Tacoma with the bigger six  and a tow package.
 
I want to keep it on the lighter side so an open trailer is fine.  I will be
towing it 1200 miles or so next year.  
 
I'm shopping for a used one but really don't know what to look at.  The
Sprite is no more that 1500 lbs I think.
 
Will I need a trailer with brakes or any other stuff to keep it safe?
 
Thanks.
