GCW (Gross combined weight)

This is the weight of the loaded vehi-

cle (GVW) plus the weight of the fully

loaded trailer.

GCWR (Gross combined

weight rating)

This is the maximum allowable

weight of the vehicle and the loaded

trailer - including all cargo and pas-

sengers - that the vehicle can handle

without risking damage. (Important :

The towing vehicle's braking system

is rated for operation at GVWR, not

GCWR. Separate functional brakes

should be used for safe control of

towed vehicles and for trailers weigh-

ing an 454 kg (1,000 lbs).) The GCW

must never exceed the GCWR.

Maximum trailer weight

This is the highest possible weight of

a fully loaded trailer the vehicle can

tow. It assumes a vehicle with only

mandatory options, no cargo, and a

driver. The weight of other optional

equipment, passengers and cargo in

your vehicle will reduce the maxi-

mum trailer weight your vehicle can

tow.

Calculating the load your vehi-

cle can tow

1. Use the appropriate maximum

GCWR chart (in the Weight of the

Trailer section in this chapter) for

your type of drive system and

transmission.

2. Weigh your vehicle.

3. Subtract the weight of your vehicle

from the maximum GCWR in the

chart. This is the maximum trailer

weight your vehicle can tow. It

must be below the maximum trail-

er weight shown in the chart. Note

that the maximum trailer weight

your vehicle can tow depends on

the total weight of any cargo, pas-

sengers and available equipment

in the vehicle.
