Be sure to include trailer weight in your GVWR calculations.


Good advice. This trailer I posted the specs on is rated at 12,000 lbs. That would more than handle what I plan to haul. The Jeep weighs about 3000, extra camping gear we might have would be under 500 lbs. The trailer weighs close to 3000 lbs. so I'd be way under with my planned load. I could also haul a full size pickup if I wanted or had the need to.
