Yes a brake controller is mandatory in most states based on the weight of the trailer (>2000 lbs). Non of the TM's I am aware of are under that limit. Also 3500lb tow limit will most likely mean you can not safely tow a TM unless it is stripped and empty. The fact that you do not have a connector for a brake controller is an indication that the vehicle may not designed to tow heavier trailers Ie class II hitch.
