Can someone tell me the weight of my 32 Standard. My reprint of the owners manual has left it out, and I am looking to buy a trailer. I am thinking it is about 2800 lbs. Thank You

That is probably close for a standard sedan. Is your car a sedan, coach, coupe or roadster?

Hey Terry,

If I remember right, when pushing your car last fall, it weight about 2800 pounds. That was what my arm gauges were telling me.

I would used 3000 pounds when buying a trailer, use some safety factor. Also the bigger the breaks you can get the better. So if you get the bigger capacity axles, you will get the bigger breaks.
