How far and how often do you plan to haul and what type of tow vehicle you got? What are you hauling (M) or rather, what might you want to haul once you have the rig? These are key things to consider in going for a trailer. Trailers are rated for GVW (gross vehicle weight, GVW= trailer weight plus load weight) This is the legal max you can have total weight if stopped and weighed. A good trailer will usually haul more but don't forget you can be stopped and ticketed for over weight if over GVW. Infrequent, local short hauls you can likely get away a little over weight. Frequent long hauls you would do better with a bigger capacity. As with many things capacity=$$$ in regard to traler rigs. Regarding heavy equipment haulers a little extra capacity is usually a good thing. I'd say 10,000 GVW would be a good start. Your tow vehicle at least 3/4 ton.
