GVWR stands for Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, and it’s a number that represents a maximum value of what your vehicle can safely weigh including payload.

To give you an example, your truck may have an ’empty’ weight of 5,500 pounds (often called a “curb weight”) and a GVWR of 7,000 pounds. The difference between these two values (1,500 lbs) is the maximum amount of “stuff” you can add to your vehicle safely.

NOTE: It’s important to remember that the difference between your truck’s curb weight and GVWR isn’t a true representation of your vehicle’s payload rating. You have to account for the weight of your cargo and the following items:
--Any passengers you’re going to be carrying
--The weight of the fuel in your truck’s gas or diesel fuel tank
--The weight of any accessories you’ve added to your truck (tonneau covers, toolboxes etc)

If you’re not sure about your truck’s curb weight, you can find out at any weigh station. Just be sure to put all the gear you normally carry in the vehicle to get the most accurate estimate of your truck’s actual weight. Then, there should be a GVWR rating on a sticker on the driver’s side door frame or in your owner’s manual. Some simple math (GVWR minus measured curb weight) will tell you precisely how much cargo you can carry (and/or how much your trailer’s tongue weight can be).
