Default Vehicle Towing Capacity - Conservatively Rated?


I bet it's more like 2000 lbs (like my Plymouth voyager)
if you have brakes on your boat trailer. Without brakes...they recommend
1000 lb max load.
BTW...the Toyota Sienna has a 3500 lb tow capacity.
My load is 1200 lb sailboat, 400 trailer and about 70 lbs for outboard plus
whatever. I'm maxed out but have installed a transmission cooler to help.

Who puts brakes on a trailer for a 13 foot boat?

**Or someone who might be concerned that his insurance company might weasel
out of payment if he had an accident and his rig was over the manufacturers
recommended load (without brakes).

Pooh. Go to a truck stop and get a certified weight check with a list of all
accessories present at the time.
