What is a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)? For a single vehicle, it is the value specified by the vehicle manufacturer as the maximum loaded weight of the vehicle. For a combination of vehicles, it is the value specified by the vehicle manufacturer as the maximum loaded weight of the towing unit plus the GVWR of the towed unit or units.
