Joe,
I've got the GVW definition, what I don't understand is what is meant by a 1 1/2 ton truck. I go back to my math, and I'm missing something.
Tomcoe,
My trailer is rated for 7k, 3500 per axle. Trailer weighs 1700, so that means I can safely put another 5300 on it. I imagine it will hold plenty more, but I used the word "safely" to mean it is rated to hold that much weight. If the truck does weigh 4635, I'm with plenty of margin. And I have brakes on both axles, so I just need to make sure it's secured well and should be good.
Thanks guys.
Brian
