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 B-Pillar or

the edge of the driver’s door.

The GVW must never exceed the

GVWR.

Exceeding the Safety Certification Label vehicle weight rating

limits could result in substandard vehicle handling or

performance, engine, transmission and/or structural damage, serious

damage to the vehicle, loss of control and personal injury.

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.
