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

vehicle. The GCW must never

exceed the GCWR.

wheel trailer), and driver only (150

lb. [68 kg]). Consult your

authorized dealer (or the RV

and Trailer Towing Guide

provided by your authorized

dealer) for more detailed

information.
