In this week's episode, Dave and Corian are breaking down trailer weight and truck tow capacity!

We will admit it, this is a conversation that can be overly complex as well as confusing... but it also has a lot of mis-information that surrounds this topic!

So, what do you need to know?

Trailer Weight vs Towing Capacity:

Gross trailer weight is the total calculated weight of a trailer and its cargo. GTW isn't so much a rating as it is a measurement. Towing capacity, on the other hand, is the maximum allowable weight a vehicle can tow as determined by the manufacturer.

GTW: Gross Trailer Weight

GCWR: Gross Combined Weight Rating

GAWR: Gross Axle Weight Rating

GVWR: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

To help you understand this a little bit easier, here is an awesome graphic thanks to Curt Mfg.
