If I put the 350lbs into a trailer, is it better or worse, given the trailer has its own weight addded to the GVWR?


GVWR don't mean much in your situation but axle capacity does, when towing with a AF 811.As far as I can tell the AF 811 already puts about 7500(Total weight) or so pounds on the rear axle and adding a trailer ads more weight on that rear axle...

If your rear axle is rated for over 8K,go for it...Actual axle rated weight by the manufacturer, not the door sticker.
