Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of your trailer, you can cause an
accident that could lead to death or serious injury. If you already have a
tow vehicle, know your vehicle tow rating and make certain the trailer’s
rated capacity is less than or equal to the tow vehicle’s rated towing
capacity. If you already have (or plan to buy) a trailer, make certain that
the tow rating of the tow vehicle is equal to or greater than that of the
trailer.
