Weight
of
the
Trailer
How
heavy
can
a
trailer
safely
be?
It
should
never
weigh
more
than
1,000
lbs.
(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 for our
trailering
information
or
advice,
or
you
can

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
Indexfor more
information
about
your
vehicle’s
maximum
load
capacity.
