GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT (GVW)
The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is the actual weight of the fully loaded vehicle or
trailer , including passengers, cargo , and fuel, hitch, trailer tongue weight , and any
optional equipment.

The best way to determine the GVW is by having
the vehicle — loaded and ready to tow —
weighed at a public scale. That figure must
include the combined weight of all passengers
and cargo that are normally in the vehicle when
towing a trailer .

The GVW of the towing vehicle must not exceed
the G ross Vehicle Weight Rating (G VWR) shown
on t he Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(F .M .V .S .S./C.M.V.S.S. ) certification label located
in the driver’s -side door area. Weigh your veh icle
on a platform type scale with all of the
passengers and cargo that are normally in the
vehicle when towing a trailer. Subtract the actual
vehicle weight from the GVWR. The remaining
amount is the available maximum tongue/king
pin load.

To avoid over loading the vehicle, be sure to
include the trailer tongue weight as a part of the
cargo when determining how much weight can
be safely carried inside the vehicle. The weight of
any roof rack cargo should also be included.
