Front GAWR, Rear GAWR - Gross axle weight rating Tire loading - total weight you can add to the vehicle GCWR - maximum that the vehicle, anything in it, and anything attached to it can weigh GTWR - max tow rating (with vehicle empty and only the driver inside).

What about GAWR? I know it's Gross Axle Weight Rating, but that includes the weight of the car? For example my truck has in the door sticker that my GAWR is 3800 should I then subtract the wight of the truck and cargo and fuel and all that?

It's simple: a Dodge/Chevy1500 Truck can HAUL 1,500 pounds MAX and the manufacturer allow 5,000 trailer with it... OR it can TOW 10,000 pounds MAX and the manufacturer allow 500 pounds of cargo to go with...BUT NOT BOTH (give or take 1-2k pounds for cab,, bed gear ratio, drivetrain/powertrain configurations). If you do both you are well over the GCWR

So I have a 4Runner with a curb weight of 4750. GVWR of 6300. GCWR of 11,300. Cargo is 835. So would I be correct if I subtract 6300 from 11300 to get the total I can safely tow? somehow tongue weight comes into play. hmmm... confusing.

So we have a 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3L V8 Crew Cab 2WD. We are wanting to get a travel trailer and trying to determine how much weight we can pull. Our specs from the sticker on the door of our truck. Curb Wt=4982, GVWR= 6900, GCWR=15000. So what we figured was our Gross Vehicl Wt= Vehicle 4982+Passengers 500+fuel 144+Cargo 200= 5826 so we are good and under our GVWR of 6900. So does this mean that if I subtract my GVW of 5826 from the GCWR of 15000 which comes out to 9174. Is that the max weight I can tow? The trailer I want to purchase has a dry weight of 7069lbs and a GVWR 8815.
@dminter1234
@dminter1234 4 жыл бұрын
thats correct. As long as your tongue weight doesnt overload your max grawr (gross rear axle weight rating.) You can figure that a tongue type trailer will put about 15% the total trailer weight on the truck. This is about 1375lbs for your trailer. Also it depends on how much you load into your trailer and how it is distributed.

If your your empty truck is 6500 and your empty trailer is 5700 you are at 12,200lbs. At this point you are over your gcvwr by 2200lbs. Add anything to your truck, such as fuel, tools, people etc, and load your trailer up and you will be much more over your gcvwr.

Thanks. This video helps me understand GV, GC, GTWR, Xyz, etc in preparation for my CDL written test. One thing is for sure, folks, Federal Agencies such as DOT or TSA do not make things easy for the public to understand as to ensue our lives safer. GCWR should be noted at our vehicular door jams instead of the owners' manual. Washington is full of overpaid and political appointed Number Crunchers wasting our hard-earned tax money. Incidentally deleting the music from this video would calm our anxiety in learning, Mr.Hall.

The manufacturers up until very recently have made this stuff stupidly hard to figure out. For example, I just got a used '17 Ford F-350 SRW. I've looked at probably 3 different PDFs direct from Ford about what ratings my truck has, and they all conflict. One says I should be able to tow 20,600 5th wheel/gooseneck with my GVWR rating; another PDF from the same year says I barely touch 17,000. Without having officially weighed the truck empty with just me and fuel, I know what it says on the door jamb for GVWR, GAWRs, and payload. I'll thumb through my manual again to try and find the "official" GCWR, but seriously, all this looking for what should be SUPER easy to find (given that so many people think they can just go buy any 3/4 or 1-ton and have max payload) is absurd. It gets worse when you're trying to shop for a truck with the right amount of payload and towing, too, because sales guys know even less than you do and care about selling *A* truck, not a truck with exactly what you need. At least for 2019 and up, I can say good on ya to GM and FCA - GM for putting ALL the info on ONE sticker, in ONE place; and to FCA for their wicked awesome online VIN tool that tells you exactly what your specific truck can payload and tow AS OPTIONED, all the way back to 2009.

@scwwoo I’m sorry for the question, I’m not from USA, but if you buy a Truck in USA, you have to buy 5th wheel in another place? (Sarcasm). I thought if you buy a car anyway the weight of empty car without passenger is including all 5 wheels. So maybe I don’t understand you correct, but in that case you can say the same about weight of engine! When you buy truck or any other car weight is already with all what you got in this car (except any extra options, if you don’t want to buy regular car). So if you buy a car all weight include 5 wheels and engine and first aid kit kJ with CD), car seats, door handles and etc... Because this is a car from original dealer, it’s not vehicle from LEGO. The rest things, for example baby car chair, your personal tools, gas cans, it’s yours, and that weight count like other weight with people in the cF😮 So I really feel bad for you if you can’t understand simple things!
