GCW (Gross Combined Weight) – is the weight of the loaded vehicle

(GVW) plus the weight of the fully loaded trailer.

GCWR (Gross Combined 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 where the GCW of the towing

vehicle plus the trailer exceed the GVWR of the towing vehicle. The

GCW must never exceed the GCWR.

Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight – is the highest possible weight of a

fully loaded trailer the vehicle can tow. It assumes a vehicle with only

mandatory options, no cargo (internal or external), a tongue load of

10–15% (conventional trailer), and driver only (150 lb. [68 kg]). Consult

your authorized dealer (or the RV and Trailer Towing Guide

provided by your authorized dealer) for more detailed

information.

WARNING: Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on

the Safety Compliance Certification Label.

WARNING: Do not use replacement tires with lower load

carrying capacities than the original tires because they may lower

the vehicle’s GVWR and GAWR limitations. Replacement tires with a

higher limit than the original tires do not increase the GVWR and

GAWR limitations.

WARNING: Exceeding any vehicle weight rating limitation could

result in serious damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury.
