I'm in the market for a new trailer. I'm particularly concerned about WEIGHT, and am having a hard time getting accurate information. Has anyone actually weighted their trailers? How close is do you find it to be to the manufacturer's sticker?I'm trying to find a 2H GN Slant 14-15' box with rear tack but no LQ. in the 4000# range Right now I'm looking at an Exiss 2H. GN slant with a 15' box. Their brochure says this is 3400#. Can I trust that number?Thanks.

I am hauling with a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel and from what I can tell it says I can tow 11400lbs. If anyone knows something different please let me know. My living quarter trailer bubble has been burst.
