Hi All,I'm new to the board and to trailers. With months of burning my eyes with research and trying to catch that perfect trailer deal before it was sold, I finally found one.My truck doesn't have the power break set up yet, and I have to pick it up by saturday due to time restraints for myself and the seller. My truck is a F150.It is a 2H BP Slant HaulThink I have any concerns?TIAKathy

If you're asking if you can haul it home without a brake controller... The answer is yes. Leave lots of room to stop and keep your speed down.
There is something that you MUST have right the first time you hitch up to the trailer. Size of the hitch ball is most important. Do NOT try to get it home with an undersized ball. Call the sellers and confirm the hitch ball size. Have that size ball on your truck. Check it your self when you pick up the trailer. Compare the size stamped on the hitch and stamped on the ball. Then make sure the hitch is locked on the ball... "Good luck is made by being prepared."
