Understood. Sometimes Im a little slow on the uptake.No. Rating (the R) is irrelevant in calculating actual weight. Just like GVWR isn't what your truck actually weighs, it's a theoretical limit to what your truck is legally allowed to weigh, trailer weight ratings are what that trailer is allowed to weigh. These are calculated based on materials, options, tires, suspension, axles, etc.
