Since I have restored my 1930 Model A Coupe, I have not hauled it on a trailer. I am now more involved with antique auto tours, some which a distance away.

I have a Class III Curt Trailer Hitch on my 1995 Ford F150 pickup, with V8 motor.
I do not have a trailer for hauling, and will probably rent one for now. Would be a dual axle trailer. My question concerns if the Class III trailer hitch is adequate. The hitch has a 6000# Gross Load Weight Carrying Capacity. Considering the Coupe at around 2300# and the tailer around 1500#, total weight would be around 3800#. So, if I understand correctly, the Class III trailer hitch should be adequate??
