Reply With QuoteDoes tire size affect GVWR? not so much as GVWR affects tire size.......check the load range on the tires, that should give you a starting point.
I am looking at a trailer that doesn't have a sticker on it with the GVWR.
Is there any other markings or way that I can tell what the GVWR is on it?
It's a single axle.

Thanks.

A trailer/RV shop can look at the axle and springs and tell you what they are rated for, when I had to replace a spring they asked me if it was a 3500lbs. or a bunch of other numbers and I didn't have a clue, they looked at it and by the number of leafs and length of the spring told me all sorts of things, and if the frame is 4" C or box or 6" makes a difference too,
Manuel has given you good advice. The suspension would be the most important part, number of leaves in the springs, axle rating etc. I had my utility trailer rebuilt (overbuilt) and they told me the suspension could now hold more than the framework.....
Take it to a trailer place and they will tell you.
