Rusty, I don't disagree with you -- It is very important that the load be matched to the truck, transmission, etc as I was asking about in my previous post. The 14000 GVW ones will cost more than the 7500 GVW ones, probably only a few hundred dollars--not worth the savings to buy a light one provided you can pull the heavier one. However they weigh about 1000 lbs more -- I rent trailers, the rental place insisted I use a 14000 GVW or so (don't remember the exact rating), when I bought my 4000 lb Super H (no fluid in tires, one set of weights), that I had to tow about 350 miles. He said it would pull easier because of less rolling resistance due to larger tires (mostly baloney). That's 7000 lbs, including the 3000 lb trailer, my half ton is rated for about 6500, it did not like that much weight. Would have had 6000 lbs with the 7500 GVW trailer, should have ignored the dealer and done that. Otherwise you are correct about the heavier duty trailers, as long as you have the correct vehicle to pull it with.
