Parts Boat Trailer
Is my trailer under 1000lbs, the limit for my vehicle?
Ok so I want to put a hitch on my car, and pull my trailer that I use to carry 2 kayaks, and a rowboat. Now the trailer is about 20 feet long, and even with the boats on it, I can pick up the hitch part and push the whole thing around by hand. Its heavy, but I can do it even in the grass. My question is, is a rig like that under the 1000lbs that is my car recomendattions? I have know idea how to judge if my rig is in that category of "under 1000lbs"
Here is the spec for my car:
Trailering
Dead Weight Hitch - Max Trailer Wt. (lbs): 1000
Dead Weight Hitch - Max Tongue Wt. (lbs): 1000
Wt Distributing Hitch - Max Trailer Wt. (lbs): 100
Wt Distributing Hitch - Max Tongue Wt. (lbs): 100
and here is a picture of my rig:

I know the durango, can pull this just fine, I was wondering about my smaller car.
Find a weigh station, truck stops are good places to look, and weigh the trailer with the heaviest load you will have on it. The $20 you'll have to spend will be a lot less then the $1000+ for a new transmission.
My advice would be don't guess do it right and get it weighed.
