The Gross Axle W eight R ating
("GAWR") is t he maximum load
that can be applied at each of the
vehicle's two axles .
The fact that there is an upper limit to your vehicle's Gross Vehi
cle Weight Rating means that the
total weight of whatever is being
carr ied in the vehicle (including
the weight of a trailer hitch and
the tongue weight of the loaded
trailer) is limited. The more pas
sengers in the vehicle or passen
gers who are heavier than the
standard weights assumed mean
that less weight can be carried as
luggage .
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
and the Gross Axle Weight Rating are listed on the safety compli
ance sticker label located on the
driver's side B-pillar
