Weight Of The Trailer - Buick 2002 Century Owner's Manual

Three important considerations have to do with weight:
D
the weight of the trailer,
D
the weight of the trailer tongue
D
and the total weight on your vehicle's tires.

Weight of the Trailer

How heavy can a trailer safely be?
It should never weigh more than 1,000 lbs. (450 kg).
But even that can be too heavy.
It depends on how you plan to use your rig. For
example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside
temperature and how much your vehicle is used to pull a
trailer are all important. And, it can also depend on any
special equipment that you have on your vehicle.
