B Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and Gross

Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) must never
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is the combined total of
the weight of the vehicle, driver, passengers, lug-
gage, trailer hitch, trailer tongue load and any other
optional equipment installed on your vehicle. There-
fore, the GVW changes depending on the situation.
Determine the GVW each time before going on a trip
by putting your vehicle and trailer on a vehicle
scale.
GVWR is shown on the certification label located on
the driver’s door of your vehicle.
