Ken and the others are right.
Stopping the load is MUCH more important than pulling it.

I once pulled a 34' Scarab from Miami to Melbourne with a 1955 CJ3B with a 215 ci Olds V8. Took 2 blocks to stop from 45 mph. Hit the brakes hard one time and the boat shoved me over 200'. Trailer brakes didn't work very well.
