GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)

the vehicle. When towing a trailer, it is the sum
of the vehicle weight (including the occupants,
cargo and any optional equipment installed on
the vehicle) and the tongue weight.
■
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating)
The maximum allowable gross axle weight. The gross axle weight is the load placed
on each axle (front and rear).
TWR (Trailer Weight Rating)
■
The maximum allowable gross trailer weight. The gross trailer weight is the sum of
the trailer weight and the weight of the cargo in the trailer.
TWR is calculated assuming base vehicle with one driver, one front passenger,
towing package (if available), hitch and hitch systems (if required).
Additional optional equipment, passengers and cargo in the vehicle will reduce the trailer
weight rating so as not to exceed GCWR, GVWR and GAWR.
