Yes, but it's close to the limit.
- 5,800 lbs is 94% of the 6,200 lb rating. Many experienced towers stay under 80% (4,960 lbs) to leave room for hills, wind, and gear.
- Heavier versions of this trailer (up to 7,000 lbs) would go over the rating, so weigh yours.
- Expect about 580 to 870 lbs of tongue weight. That counts against your payload.
