You guys are looking at the size of the tow vehicle. "17 ft" You need to look at the total GVW. "Gross vehicle weight" This is the total weight of everything. Trailer, tow vehicle, and vehicle in tow, passengers, tools, dog, fat wife, etc. One pound over, have an accident, and you'll lose your CDL ERic
