you either find a trailer that's GVWR is under the 4000lbs. capacity of your truck or you look for a bigger tow vehicle.
smaller trailers usually don't have a large cargo capacity, like bigger trailers do. so using the GVWR as a guide, is good for smaller trailers.
the smart thing to do, if you decide to upgrade your tow vehicle, is to find the floorplan you like and then buy a tow vehicle capable of easily towing it.
when we were shopping for a truck and trailer, we first settled on which model trailer we liked. we then looked for the appropriate tow vehicle.
initially, we loved the Ridgeline. but with its 5000lbs. limit and the fact the Honda discourages using a WDH, we quickly decided that it would be overmatched for the 5000lbs. loaded trailer we wanted.
we bought an Avalanche which gives me over a ton of extra towing capacity and plenty of room for payload.
unfortunately, the Colorado is well known as a lousy tow vehicle, unless you got the 5.3 v-8 engine.
