The term GVWR – or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating – might sound like something only professional truck drivers need to know, but it\u2019s something every driver of a pickup truck, SUV or crossover needs to be aware of to stay safe while carrying cargo and\/or passengers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How do I find the GVWR in my vehicle?\u00a0 It\u2019s easy – just look on the label that\u2019s located on the inside of the driver\u2019s door jamb.\u00a0 The GVWR tells you the combined weight of passengers, personal effects and cargo, along with the weight of the vehicle itself, as well as the tongue weight of the trailer. (See last week\u2019s blog on the importance of proper tongue weight in safe hauling.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why do you need to know the GVWR?\u00a0 Knowing the GVWR will prevent you from overloading your vehicle which cause damage to your vehicle and create unsafe driving conditions such as, broken springs and suspension components, unsafe braking, overheating and damaging the transmission and other driveline components, difficulty controlling the vehicle due to strain on the suspension and danger of tire blowout due to an increase in tire temperature.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How do you figure out how much weight the vehicle can carry? Follow this\u00a0 example:The weight of the #2016GMCSierra1500 is 5,216. By subtracting the weight of the truck from the GVWR you know you can carry 1,884 pounds without exceeding the GVWR.\u00a0 Make sure you take into account the weight of your passengers, as well as cargo.\u00a0 If you have two 150-pound passengers, your available hauling capacity is 11,584 pounds.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to always stay within the GVWR limit set for your particular truck, SUV or crossover to avoid damage to your vehicle and to keep your passengers and your belongings safe.<\/p>\n
