Val estimated 900 lb of "stuff" in the truck, which when added to the 4,502 lb curb
weight would be 4,902 lb. The measured weight is 4,930 lb. Impressively close!
I agree that the trailer's GVWR is an upper limit which is useful for planning; however, specific models such as the
Bigfoot 25B21RB with about 3,000 lb between unloaded weight and GVWR could be unnecessarily eliminated from consideration, penalized by their
axle capacity. It
would be nice is people actually weighed their trailers...
