If I remember my weights right. You legaly need a CDL if your total GVWR is over 26,000# or your trailer being towed has a GVWR over 10,000#.

You'd be fine on the total weight, but the heavy trailer is whats gonna get you. Double check with someone to see if I'm right or wrong.



I used to worry about pulling my 12,000 lb GVW tilt-bed with my 2500 HD pickup because of the rule stated above (trailer over 10,000 GVW). Then I found a WSDOT website with this helpful form/questionnaire.
