Is a higher TT GVWR better?

Unless you've heard of dual axle TT's bending and breaking all over numerous forums, the two GVWR's are nothing more than a form of marketing to sell you on one or the other. One is not more "safe" over the other, this has nothing to do with safety. (Much like the truck world.)

I'm not sure how anyone could argue pulling more weight would be more safe, just because you're within ratings. It just doesn't work that way.

In short, GVWR is not how to shop for a TT, despite the fact this site loves to claim so. The only exception would be, does it truly offer more cargo capacity over the other trailer? Extra load capacity might come in handy, however it sounds to me like you know to over estimate already. So how much is too much, and would you ever possibly use it.

I'd use a few other factors to determine which TT to buy.

Actually it is quite common to bend an axle by hitting a pothole or curbing the TT. Lots of posts on this and alignment fixes caused by it.
The higher rated Axles will give more safety margin when something like this occurs. And I do believe that it is a higher priority than some of the other things that some fret over.

Yeah, it happens. It happens to every, single thing driven on the road...does it not?

A higher rated axle doesn't make you immune to anything.

And we're not talking a big difference in this example either.
