"New" Weekend Warrior Toy Haulers

somebody wrote:
The GVWR is set at 9999 because of your class C license. The minute you go over 10,000 lbs you need a different class of license. This may not be in all states but in most. The axles on the New Weekend Warrior are 6000#. Clearly the CC of the unit is far higher.

So you're saying the GVWR "should be" around 12000lbs because the axles are rated for 6000lbs? You're also saying that it isn't though because you made the GVWR 9999lbs because some people might need to get a different license to haul more than 10000lbs? Well great now those same people in those states are going get this trailer and bust the GVWR without even trying and then be breaking the law because they don't have the right license to begin with. :S

Ok - whatever I suppose I would agree that any toy hauler should have more CCC then what is listed on your spec sheet. :h

BUT - say I get in a wreck and say someone gets injured while I'm weighing in at 12000lbs when the GVWR is right there in ENGLISH listed at 9999lbs then is that going to open me up to real legal liability for busting the trailers listed GVWR - OH YEAH! :E

If something snaps on the trailer while under warranty and I was hauling more than the trailers listed GVWR would it still be covered under warranty? - NO! :(

Is my insurance company going to pay a claim when it is known that I was over the manufacturers listed GVWR by thousands of pounds? Maybe I guess the solution is to lie to the insurance company in the event of a claim. That will solve most of the issues above as well. We'll just lie about it and all is well. :R


This is almost laughable. Is the GVWR sometimes just an arbitrary number? It can be I suppose but the GVWR is posted on the trailer for a reason.

It's too bad because I really like the style of those WW trailers. If I didn't already have a relatively new Desert Fox than I would consider one if the GVWR is more around the 13k area.
