Generally speaking, brakes aren't required on any trailer with 3000 lb. GTW or less.
Depends on both state law and the tow vehicle. Washington has a 3000# trailer brake requirement, California 1500# requirement, Tundra 1000#. For a Tundra, I would not exceed the trucks GVWR, 6000# combined truck and trailer weight, without trailer brakes. If I had the truck heavily loaded, I'd want brakes on any trailer I pulled.
