TRAILERING TERMS
GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING (GAWR)
The weight in pounds each axle is capable of supporting.
The load on each axle must not exceed its GAWR. Your
Chevy truck’s GAWR is posted on the driver’s door or
door-lock pillar panel.
GROSS COMBINATION WEIGHT RATING (GCWR)
The total allowable weight of the loaded vehicle and its trailer
combined. The GCWR includes the weight of the driver,
passengers, fuel, original equipment and gear you carry.
GROSS TRAILER WEIGHT
The weight of your loaded trailer.
TRAILER WEIGHT RATING
The trailer weight rating (in pounds) for any vehicle is
determined by subtracting vehicle weight from the GCWR.
At the trailer weight rating for a properly equipped vehicle,
you should be able to accelerate, merge with traffic, climb
a typical grade on a road or interstate at highway speed,
and assuming satisfactory road conditions, maintain
control on various road surfaces and stop the vehicle
within a reasonable distance.
GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR)
This rating is the maximum amount a tow vehicle can
weigh. Everything contributing to the tow vehicle’s
weight is factored into the GVWR, including the weight of
the truck, driver, passengers, fuel payload, tongue load
of the trailer, hitch weight and all optional equipment.
The GVWR is displayed on the driver’s door or door-lock
pillar label.
