1. The specifications call out a required GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of 17,000 lbs.
GVWR is calculated by adding the rating of the trailer axles together, in this case the axles are rated for 8,000 lbs each. The GVWR requirement in this case should only be 16,000 lbs, not the 17,000 called out in the specs.
A: 17,000 lbs is the max allowable so, the 16,000 falls underneath that requirement and is acceptable.
