With a Class C license you may tow a vehicle weighing:

• A. 10,000 lbs or less GVWR
• B. 20,000 lbs or less GVWR
• C. 15,000 lbs or less GVWR when towing is for compensation
• D. All trailers regardless of weight with endorsement

Answer: (A)

A Class C license lets you tow a trailer only if the trailer’s GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) is 10,000 pounds or less. That rating is the maximum weight the trailer is designed to safely carry when loaded. So if the trailer weighs 10,000 pounds or less, your Class C license covers the tow. Heavier trailers—like 15,000 or 20,000 pounds GVWR, or towing trailers regardless of weight with an endorsement—require a different license (such as Class A or B) or additional endorsements. This limit keeps towing safe and aligned with what a standard Class C vehicle is built to handle.
