Toyhauler weights
Has anyone had experience with the weight the manufacturer posts on their toyhauler? I'm curious how accurate they are. I have a 2008 WW that the unloaded weight is nowhere near what the tag says. Loo...

With the increased capability of modern day trucks I don't see the weight of the trailer being a big deal at all-
I would buy the trailer I liked and be done with it. Many of the modern trucks can hook up to a loaded fifth wheel TH and still have a few thousand pounds of capacity in reserve.
Don't get me wrong- the posted weight should be close or why post it at all? I juts don't think it needs to be nearly as big of a concern as it was just a few years ago.
It is a big deal. I'm waiting for a manufacturer to be sued cause someone in a trailer advertised at 12,000 pounds gvw was really 14,000 and caused an accident cause the truck was rated at 12,500. I'm far from the weight police on this site. But when I buy something, I expect the specs to be right.
You must also have missed the part where I said the weight posted should be close...
No I read your whole post. What is "close"? Some would say 12,000 list when it's 13,000 is close. Which is enough to put someone over the limit. Especially when considering trailer tires and GVW. How hard is it to require them to be weighed at the dealer after installed options?
