I'm considering pulling a gooseneck 24' trailer with my 2005 F150 FX4 a max tow rating around 9,000. The trailer has a 12,168 GAVW with 6,084 on front and back each. What's the GAVW mean different than GVW and does this include the expected weight of the load? I have trouble believing this trailer weighs in a 6 tons empty. I won't be hauling more than 1,000 in it....
So whats GAVW mean and should I be able to pull it with my F150?
