Default Trailer weight?

I know someone on here has used the Uhaul trailer to haul their Fbody from point A to B. Just wondering what the total'ish weight is with the trailer and car?

i cant think of a total wieght, but i know the F-bodys are around 3400 pounds Thats what my TA wieghed in at with me in it and a 1/4 tank of gas.

So 3400 + TRAILER = your wieght they should list their trailers weight on the website

EDIT: Trailer wieght is 2210, thats the trailer NOT the dolly

so you are looking at 5610LBS or a 5700LBS to high estimate

My FJ is rated at 5k, I have the trailer brake system but don't think that'll fly going up a big hill
