My truck is rated to tow a 5th wheel up to 18,500 lbs. and has a payload capacity of 3,798 lbs.. My trailer has a dry weight of 13,052 lbs., GVWR of 16,600 lbs. and a hitch weight of 2,615 lbs. At no time am I loading my trailer to the max weight. So I am well under the max weight of 18,500 I am capable of towing. Am I worried about being stopped, absolutely not, and if I am stopped, I will have a nice chat with a fellow officer.
