Three important considerations have
to
do
with weight:
Weight
of
the
Trailer
How heavy can a trailer safely be?
It should never weigh more than
1,000
pounds (450 kg).
But even that can be too
heavy.
It
depends
on
how
you
plan to
use
your rig. For
example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside
temperature and how much your vehicle
is
used to pull a
trailer are all important. And, it can also depend on any
special equipment that you have on your vehicle.
You
can ask your dealer

Weight
of
the
Trailer
Tongue
The tongue
load
(A)
of
any
trailer
is
an
important
weight
to
measure because it affects the total or gross
weight
of
your vehicle. The gross vehicle weight
(GVW) includes the curb weight
of
the vehicle, any
cargo
you
may carry in it, and the people who will be
riding
in
the vehicle. And if you will tow a trailer, you
must add the tongue load to the GVW because your
vehicle will be carrying that weight, too. See “Loading
Your Vehicle”
in
the Index for more information about
your vehicle’s maximum load capacity.
