There are three important considerations have to
do with weight:

The weight of the trailer

The weight of the trailer tongue

The total weight on the vehicle’s tires

Weight of the Trailer

How heavy can a trailer safely be?

It should never weigh more than 1,000 lbs
(450 kg). But even that can be too heavy.

It depends on how you plan to use your rig. For
example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside
temperature and how much the vehicle is used to
pull a trailer are all important. It can also depend
on any special equipment that is on the vehicle,
and the amount of tongue weight the vehicle can
carry. See “Weight of the Trailer Tongue” later
in this section for more information.

Maximum trailer weight is calculated assuming
only the driver is in the tow vehicle and it has all
the required trailering equipment. The weight
of additional optional equipment, passengers and
cargo must be subtracted from the maximum
trailer weight.
