I have often said to keep the trailer GVWR within the tow rating. The issue often comes down to payload capacity. Many already load the tow vehicle to max GVWR and then want to connect a trailer. The tow rating includes only a 150# driver and a full tank of fuel. All additional passengers, options and equipment in the vehicle reduce the payload rating to carry the hitch weight. Anyway don't go crazy with extra in the vehicle and go have some fun.
