    3 comparable trailers and weights question.

    Since weight is such a popular subject.
    Listed below are 3 comparable TT toy haulers with the listed weights from the manufacturer sites.

    My question is why are the GVWRs so different given all have the same axle ratings?

    They are figuring on the hitch weight being what is listed, or higher.

    Add hitch weight to axle weight ratings/

    Thanks that is what I was thinking.
    So does that mean that manufacturers have varying methods for determining the GVWR? Ie: do some use tongue weight factoring and others don't?
