My father is planning to buy a new horse trailer for the three horses he recently bought for our ranch. He wants to know if he can use his pick-up truck to tow the trailer, which is why I’m trying to find out if we need to have the trailer weighed. I like that you said most trailers already have their own gross trailer weight rating so we don’t have to weigh it ourselves. Thanks a lot, Daniel!

You can stay within all the above numbers, but exceed the rear axle payload capacity of a single rear wheel truck with a larger GN trailer.
