Whether the information that I've heard is correct or not, when the trailer GVWR goes to 10K or over, there are completely different standards/ regulations applied to the TV and cargo. I was told by a number of supposedly knowledgeable people that to keep things "simple", that it's desirable to use a trailer under 10K GVWR if the load can be safely towed with it. As far as I know those are correct statements.
I'm also using a 1/2 ton to do the towing and the under 10K trailer falls into a range that coincides with the trucks capacity.
Since I am NOT intimate with the specifics of these differences and I'm not intending to confuse anyone, perhaps you can enlighten us all with the facts?
