We have a 30 foot 24,000gvw Corn pro. we pull it it with the 85 Chevy 1 ton. Granted we don't load it excessively. Normally we pull it with the Pete.
Where most guys get in trouble with the DOT is improper plating. Most state require a combination plate when pulling a trailer, meaning that if your trucks 10,000 GVW and your trailer is 12,000 GVW your truck should be plated for 22,000 GVW.
You could in theory be overweight with an empty trailer.
PA requires it. Ohio supposedly does but I've never had them say anything to me about it. I've never had a cop tell me I'm exceeding towing capacity.
I don't car what you pull as long as the weight on the truck doesn't exceed its rated capacity.
Of course 1/2 the cops don't know the law anyway. My brother got stopped several weeks ago by a township cop. His reason for stopping him was that there was no sticker on the trailer plate. Well duh dummy its a permanent plate, they don't have stickers. All PA permanent plates start with the letters PT. He then wrote him an overweight fine. How do you do that without weighing it? Never mind the fact that he was empty and that 1 ton is plated for 28,000.
Magistrate tossed both tickets and told the cop he wanted to talk to him in private after my brother pointed out how much the truck was plated for and showing the magistrate the trailer registration.
As for the trailer your looking at, to much money.
I literally just priced an new Corn pro last week.
14,000 GVW Deck over tag along $5450. I didn't price GN's since I need a trailer for behind my 1 ton dump.
