GCW (Gross Combined Weight) – is the weight of the loaded vehicle

(GVW) plus the weight of the fully loaded trailer.

GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) – is the maximum allowable

weight of the vehicle and the loaded trailer – including all cargo and

passengers – that the vehicle can handle without risking damage.

(Important: The towing vehicle’s braking system is rated for operation at

GVWR, not at GCWR. Separate functional brakes should be used for safe

control of towed vehicles and for trailers where the GCW of the towing

vehicle plus the trailer exceed the GVWR of the towing vehicle. The

GCW must never exceed the GCWR.

Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight – is the highest possible weight of a

fully loaded trailer the vehicle can tow. It assumes a vehicle with only

mandatory options, no cargo (internal or external), a tongue load of

10–15% (conventional trailer) or king pin weight of 15–25% (fifth wheel

trailer), and driver only (68 kg [150 lbs]). Consult your dealership (or

the RV and Trailer Towing Guide provided by your dealership) for

more detailed information.

Tongue Load or Fifth Wheel King Pin Weight – refers to the amount

of the weight that a trailer pushes down on a trailer hitch.

Examples: For a 2268 kg (5000 lbs.) conventional trailer, multiply 5000

by 0.10 and 0.15 to obtain a proper tongue load range of 227 to 340 kg

(500 to 750 lbs.). For an 5216 kg (11,500 lbs.) fifth wheel trailer,

multiply by 0.15 and 0.25 to obtain a proper king pin load range of 782

to 1304 kg (1,725 to 2,875 lbs.)

Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the

certification label.

Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities

than the originals because they may lower the vehicle’s GVWR

and GAWR limitations. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the

originals do not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations.
