I have a 95 xlt 4wd, and I will need to tow a 2000lbs (loaded) trailer from Upstate NY to NJ and back again empty (900lbs).
This truck has the 4 flat trailer connector (just the lights) and the trailer has the 6pin round connector which has the brake pin.
I am buying an adapter for the lights wiring, probably this one,

I would rather not have to get a brake controller for this one trip, other than the expected additional ware on my brakes (4 months old), and the need for increased stopping distance, are there any real safety or other mechanical issues which I should be aware of?
