If you\u2019re looking for average trailer weights, you\u2019ve come to the right place. These numbers will help if you are trying figure out how big of a trailer you can buy and successfully tow with your existing or future truck. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Why Does Trailer Weight Matter?<\/h2>\n

There is a camper trailer for almost every type of vehicle.\u00a0 Even a car can tow a little one-man teardrop trailer.\u00a0 However, if you want a massive 26\u2032 trailer, don\u2019t stress your mini-SUV by pushing the limits of your tow capacity.<\/p>\n

In general,\u00a0a truck or other vehicle that advertises it can tow 7,200 pounds (3,250 kilos) is adequate for towing most trailers under 24 feet.<\/p>\n

Be wary as you shop for trailers to make sure that you don\u2019t get taken by the marketing.\u00a0 Almost every trailer today, no matter how bloated and heavy, is marketed as \u201clightweight, superlight, featherlite, etc.\u201d\u00a0 Check the numbers.<\/p>\n
