    Depends on your axle (as mentioned) 3,500 lb axles are very common on cargo type trailers. Sometimes, it's not how much you can tow, but how much can you stop? I don't see any brakes on it.

    Keep in mind, its a single axle, so if you have a blowout, there's not another axle keeping it from whirling out on you. Don't overload it-tempting as it may be; its a 5x8 depending on how you disperse the weight maybe a thousand maybe if the weight is lower to the ground.
