Question regarding GVWR

[joshua32064]

I have a question regarding GVWR. Let's say that you purchase a trailer that has a factory weight of 5,745 pounds and has an additional allowable weight of 1,555 pounds. From my understanding, the GVWR would be 7,300 pounds.

Let's say you purchase a trailer that has a GVWR of 7,300 pounds. From everything that I have read on the forum, your tow vehicle should really be capable of pulling 9,000 pounds.

Here is my question. What if your tow vehicle isn't capable of pulling 9,000 pounds but only 7,700 pounds shall we say. As long as you don't put 1,555 pounds of extra things in the trailer, shouldn't you be OK? From what I have read, if we know that fluids, gasses, etc., will weigh approximately 600 pounds. Wouldn't someone with a 7,700 tow capacity be capable of pulling a 28' trailer as long as they did not bring a TON of stuff? 5,745 pounds plus 600 pounds is only 6,345. That's also assuming that you would always have your trailer fully loaded with fluids, etc.

Is it cutting it to close? I look forward to your answers.
