yeah, nope. I knew I only counted 6 lugs. Thats a 10k gvwr trailer, weighs roughly 3k, so your payload capacity is 7k, give or take a few hundo. If it is only 2750 that is the lightest steel deckover ive ever seen. Good lookin trailer tho!

According to the paperwork and the sticker on the trailer it is 11,500 GVWR.

The weight rated can be based on the axles or tires or a combination. It is really up to the manufacturer how to calculate it. Also in the industry the wight rating minus the trailer weight does not equal  payload capacity . There is no set amount allowed for the hitch to transfer the weight to the truck ,but it is generally  25% on a bumper pull and 30% on a goose neck.

The twinn turbo ecoboost pulled the trailer and jku with no issues. I can't say that I didn't know it was back there though.

The trailer is a little shorter than I thought it would be. I need to add some anchor points to get a more straight of an angle on my straps.

I was attempting to err on the side of safety for those that might not know much about trailers or hauling, but please, do whatever yall like. Roger is literally the expert being he builds them for a living, I just haul everyday and own 7 different ones so what do I know  .. Hopefully Chucks JK dont weigh 12k and I doubt he is pulling heavy equipment with a half ton so we'll never know.

"Hopefully Chucks JK dont weigh 12k"

It doesn't yet but I'm working on it!

I watched a 'trailer selection video' where the guy buying a trailer had it downrated 'so the truck and trailer max would be under the CDL license requirements'.  It seems to me the rating doesn't matter to the safety patrol, it's whether you're driving a combination that exceeds the limits of your license.  He said down rating was common...y'all ever heard of such a thing?  Is he correct in his rationale?

His trailer with dual 7K axles was originally rated at 15.6k-ish and he had it knocked down to 14.4k-ish.

Has anyone other than you Clark ever even been pulled over for a trailer violation?

I haven't
And never will if I didn't get pulled over last weekend with a super sketch pallet of bagged mulch on my trailer.  Idiot HD guy couldn't load it right, broke the pallet which made it lean back and my strapping was somewhat lackluster.  Had two LEO's pass me on Hwy 92 and never even turned their heads at me.  I wasn't over-weight, not even close, but the whole thing just looked awful.
