Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)?
GVWR is the maximum allowable weight of the fully-loaded vehicle. This includes all options, equipment, passengers, and cargo. Aparece en la etiqueta de Certificación de Cumplimiento de Seguridad. This label is located on the door hinge pillar, door-latch post, or the door edge that meets the door-latch post, next to the driver seating position.
The gross vehicle weight must never exceed the GVWR.

What is Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR)?
GCWR 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 the GVWR, not at the GCWR. Separate functional brakes should be used for safe control of towed vehicles and for trailers where the gross combined weight of the towing vehicle plus the trailer exceeds the GVWR of the towing vehicle.
The gross combined weight must never exceed the GCWR.
¿Qué es la Carga Vertical?
Tongue Load is a critical measurement that must be made before towing. Se refiere al peso del remolque que presiona el enganche del remolque. Too much tongue load or king pin weight can cause suspension/drivetrain damage and can press the vehicle down in the back, causing the front wheels to lift to the point where traction, steering response, and breaking can be severely decreased. Muy poco peso del perno maestro o carga vertical puede disminuir la tracción en las ruedas traseras y generar inestabilidad, lo que podría ocasionar meneos o coleadas.
Qué is payload?
Payload is the combined weight of cargo and passengers that your vehicle is carrying.
The maximum payload for your vehicle, as produced from the manufacturer, appears on the Tire and Loading Information Label. The label is either on the B-pillar or the edge of the driver's door. Vehículos exported outside the United States and Canada may not have a Tire and Loading Information Label. Look for “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg OR XXX lb” for maximum payload.
La capacidad de carga que aparece en la etiqueta de Información de Llantas y Carga es la capacidad de carga máxima para tu vehículo según se diseñó en la planta de ensamblaje. Si instalas equipos adicionales en tu vehículo, debes determinar la nueva capacidad de carga. Subtract the weight of the equipment from the payload listed on the Tire and Loading Information Label. Cuándo towing, trailer tongue weight or king pin weight is also part of payload.

Qué is Curb Weight?
Curb Weight is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard and optional equipment. No incluye pasajeros, carga ni equipos no originales.
Para obtener más información, visita Determining Vehicle Curb Weight.
Qué is added weight?
Added weight is the total weight of all people, cargo, or accessories added to a vehicle after the initial sale. This includes the weight of all occupants including the driver, pets, cargo, luggage, tools, child seats, emergency equipment, aftermarket accessories (such as tools boxes, brush guards, tonneau covers), trailer towing components (such as ball mount, weight distribution hitch components, Fifth-Wheel hitch, etc.).
Qué is cargo weight?
Cargo weight is all weight added to the Curb Weight, including cargo, luggage, and aftermarket equipment. When towing, trailer tongue load or king pin weight is also part of the cargo weight.
Qué is Max Loaded Trailer Weight?
Max Loaded Trailer Weight is the highest possible weight of a fully-loaded trailer the vehicle can tow. It assumes a trailer tongue load of 10% (conventional trailer) or 15% (Fifth-Wheel/Gooseneck trailer). Inaccurate input values will lead to incorrect results.
Qué happens if vehicle ratings are exceeded?
Mantener your loaded vehicle weight within its design rating capability, with or without a trailer. Exceder la clasificación del peso del vehículo al sobrecargar el vehículo o el enganche de remolque puede afectar el desempeño y el manejo del vehículo, causar daños al vehículo y dar como resultado la pérdida de control, lesiones personales graves o la muerte.
