    In researching a new vehicle, I checked the aforementioned 2007 Dinghy Towing Guide and it mentioned the Toyota Camry as towable with 4 down.

    I know it's up to the individual states, but where is it legal to drive without a braking system?

    Mostly so I can avoid those states.

    Holy cow...
