Using Trailer Specifications for Comparison
+ ?
+
+
Find your trailer's specifications for comparison: 1) Check the manufacturer data plate/sticker (usually on trailer tongue, A-frame, or left front side), 2) Owner's manual, 3) Dealer sheets, or 4) Manufacturer's website. Look for "Dry Weight" or "UVW" (Unloaded Vehicle Weight) and "GVWR" (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). Compare these trailer specs against your calculated max towable weight.
+
Important: Find your trailer's "Dry Weight" or "UVW" on the trailer's data plate and ensure it's less than your calculated max towable weight.
