Weight of the Trailer
How heavy can a trailer safely be?
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.
The following chart shows how much your trailer can weigh, based upon your vehicle model and options.
