GVW
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) is the Vehicle Curb Weight + cargo + passengers.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is the maximum allowable weight of the fully
loaded vehicle (including all options, equipment, passengers and cargo). The GVWR
is shown on the Safety Compliance
Certification
Label located on the driver's
door frame or door pillar. The GVW must never exceed the GVWR.
SAMPLE
WARNING
Never Exceed Axle Weight Rating Limits.
Exceeding the Safety Certification Label axle weight rating limits is dangerous and
could result in death or serious injury as a result of substandard vehicle handling,
performance, engine, transmission and/or structural damage, serious damage to the
vehicle, or loss of control.
Always keep the vehicle within the axle weight rating limits.
GCW
GCW (Gross Combination Weight) is the weight of the loaded vehicle (GVW) plus
the weight of the fully loaded trailer.
GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating) is the maximum allowable weight of
the vehicle and the loaded trailer - including all cargo and passengers - that the
vehicle can handle without risking damage. (Important: The towing vehicle's braking
system is rated for operation at GVWR, not at GCWR. Separate functional brakes
should be used for safe control of towed vehicles and for trailers weighing more than
1,500 lbs). The GCW must never exceed the GCWR.
