rating.   Additional passengers, cargo and/or optional equipment 
will add weight to the vehicle and reduce your vehicle’s 
maximum towing capacity and trailer tongue load.

used  when towing over 5,000 lbs. 
  3.   Most states require a separate braking system on trailers with a 
loaded weight above a specific amount. Check local ordinances.
