You definitely need a brake controller. Most states require a trailer brake for any trailer over ~~ 3000 lbs. The exact requirement differs slightly from state to state, but the 3000 lb rule is fairly universal.

If memory serves, in Indiana anything over 1K needs it's own (working) brake system (electric or hydraulic or surge).
