Teardrop Trailer 1,700 500 to 3,200 2,000 to 4,000 70

lists all types of trailers you might also pull.

That way you might want to get one that can pull more then just a teardrop.

It's a good guideline! Great to get you close to the game. Great for someone entering this game.

Maker's have a clue to component weight and what the varitables are. Ask away towards your project. Someone here will guide!

Love this site!

Thanks for posting this, its very interesting. I'm seeing smaller sedans pulling bigger trailers more and more often. It makes you wonder if they've done their homework on towing safely.
