the dollys where they only attach to 2 wheels... Max Load: 3,450 lbs. when towing a front-wheel drive vehicle, 3,900 lbs. when towing a rear-wheel drive vehicle.

the car hauler for the one we rented..
  • Max load: 5,290 lbs.
  • Gross vehicle weight: 7,500 lbs. max.
  • Empty weight: 2,210 lbs.
website didnt list the larger one they had but would assum it was in the neighborhood of 10k rating
