3.3 PREPARING TO TOW
Your trailer includes an identification and information tag which contains essen-
tial information for safe use of your trailer. The tag is generally located in the
tongue area or front cross member of the trailer. It includes the vehicle identifi-
cation number (VIN), the maximum gross weight that each axle can support
(GAWR) and the maximum allowable gross weight of the trailer and its contents
(GVWR).
The total weight of the trailer and its cargo must not exceed the GVWR. If you
add equipment to the trailer, you must weigh the trailer to ensure it conforms to
the GVWR.
