I am still trying to understand this. I thought that the sticker inside the door was just for the maximum weight the truck could haul including passangers and cargo. I didn't think it had anything to do with a trailer, thats why (at least in my state) you tag your trailer for the maximum amount of weight it will haul. My trucks sticker says 11,200 but the truck is 7500 empty, and my trailer is tagged for 7,000 and hauls a 4,000 pound jeep (for now) so i would think i would be ok because i am under the gvw for the truck and trailer? This has me worried about hauling my trailer period.
