(10,000lbs) but I think that would be a little much for the axles. I had a 6200 lb 1 ton truck on it before and it did fine. I run 10ply truck tires on it. I bought it with an open deck and then welded in the deck and tie downs later. I also lowered the fenders. My next mod I plan to put hinged fenders on it so lowered cars can open the doors.
My father inlaw bought it new back in 92 for $2300. I bought it 6 or 7 years ago from him for $1600. I dont want to sell it. I use it too much. But you should be able to find similar trailers for between $1200 - $1800 in same or better condition. Mine has brakes on both axles.

I seen in the other post you didn't want to sell it,thats cool,I asked because I found one for sale but he said it's a very heavy dudy trailer,but I'm worried about the towing compacity on my Pathfinder,it's 5,000lbs. so I'm not sure what I can get away with.I did tow 1sicbu's bigblock Malibu on his trailer one night and he said my Pathfinder towed his car better than his full sized Suburban.This will be my first trailer,me and my brother are gonna buy it for our stangs,so I kinda want to make the right choice the first time.BTW,the grill works very good,thanks.
