Trailer has a GVW of 7500.

But there also seems to be a lot of people that love it. Looks like a call to see if they've resolved some of the those complaints from a few years ago!
(Yeah, I know the pic below is of a fifth. Roof tear sent it to the junk yard a couple of days ago. Can't replace, so have to move to a TT).
