Trailer weight vs. towing capacity
If my SUV's towing capacity is 6000 pounds, what should be my safe trailer dry weight?
Forum Discussion
Dry Weight does not include dealer installed options, propane, & gear may not also include battery weight. Advertised dry weight is a base trailer with no options for some companies...... Our advertised dry weight was over 500 lbs less than the yellow sticker.......
If your tow vehicle can tow the gross weight you are in good shape your tow vehicle should be able to tow more than the actual scale weight of the trailer by at least 15%.
