Weight Of The Trailer - GMC Yukon Denali 2003 Owner's Manual

Weight of the Trailer

How heavy can a trailer safely be?
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.
