If a trailer has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVRW)of 7000 lbs., can it carry a 7000 lb. load?

Frequently asked trailer questions
No! The GVWR is the max weight capacity which includes the empty weight of the trailer. For example, lets say a 16' car hauler has two 3500 lb axles, indicating a GVRW of 7000 lbs. If the Curb Weight (empty) of that trailer is 1200 lbs, the Carrying or Load Capacity would be 5800 lbs. (7000 ? 1200). Because I generally use 13" tires & wheels for the dbl axle snowmobile trailers to keep the deck height as low as possible and still have electric brakes.
