	Gross Vehicle Weight Rating - Fr
		The GVWR includes the net weight of the vehicle, plus the weight of passengers, fuel, cargo and any accessories added to the vehicle after purchase.
		The GVWR is a safety standard used to prevent overloading.
		Exceeding the GVWR by excessively overloading your vehicle is illegal, unsafe and can reduce the service life of the vehicle.

	Gross vehicle weight gvw
		A company that modifies a vehicle to increase the GVWR must ensure the GVWR is increased in accordance with the original manufacturer's written recommendations, or within the load-carrying capacity of the vehicle's components, when the completed vehicle is loaded for its intended use.
		This is an expensive option for light truck owners and because of the criteria associated with increasing a vehicle's GVWR, it may be difficult to find a facility willing to do the work.
		When a vehicle is licensed, the owner pays a licensing fee based on the weight they plan to carry and tow.

		A study prepared for the Department of Energy, in February 2002, by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory found that 521,000 trucks with GVWR from 8,500 to 10,000 lbs were sold in calendar year 1999.
		Because the Vehicle D exceeds 8,500 GVWR, it is excluded from the calculation.
		Because Vehicle D has a GVWR in excess of 8,500 lbs, it is excluded from the calculation.

		I could also lower the registered GVWR on my truck to 14,900# and leave the trailer at 11,100# to stay in Class C. Of course if I ever get pulled over and weighed, the actual weights of the truck and trailer have to be at or below their respective registered GVWRs or "else".....
		I left my truck GVWR at 9000#, but did change my stock trailer from 14,400# to 7000#, since that is the most I would ever carry in it.
		GVWR is determined as to what the truck can carry verses what it weighs.

	Interpretation for 383.5
		The only apparent reason to remove the manufacturer's GVWR plate or VIN number is to make it impossible for roadside enforcement officers to determine the applicability of part 383, which has a GVWR threshold of 26,001 pounds.
		When the vehicle is used to perform functions normally performed by a vehicle with a higher GVWR, §390.33 allows an enforcement officer to treat the actual gross weight as the GVWR of the modified vehicle.
		If the total GVWR for the two trailers is at least 10,001 pounds, and the tractor's GVWR is sufficient to produce a GCWR of at least 26,001 pounds, the combination is a Group A vehicle requiring a driver with a Class A CDL with a double/triple trailers endorsement.

	Trailer Life Magazine Open Roads Forum: Can I tow 16,000lb GVWR 5'er with todays 1-ton SRW?
		The terms GVWR and GCWR are NOT interchangeable.
		Perhaps the higher rated MDT's have that GVWR but I do not think that any of the big three in the 350-3500 size are going to have that capability.
		When you ignore GVWR there are other issues to deal with besides braking; suspension, drive line angles, steering, are just a few.

	Woodalls Open Roads Forum: Class "A" Texas Drivers License Required For 10K GVWR 5er.
		That is GVWR - the R stands for Rating, as in what it is rated as being able to carry.
		I do feel that an 'RV' endorsement for a G liscense would be a good idea for units over a certain weight and size, along with a course and road test but as for now its not the law.
		If that should be GVWR, then I may be over - I'm not sure what the GVWR is on my trailer, but I know that the GVW is less........

		The GVWR is the maximum a loaded vehicle can weigh, with fuel, passengers, luggage, "stuff" in the cab and in the bed, tool box, trailer hitch(s), and trailer hitch weight on the 5th-wheel hitch or on the receiver hitch.
		The payload is the difference between the GVWR and the empty but "wet" truck before you add driver, passengers, luggage, cargo, and hitch weight.
		With an F-250, you will bump up against the GVWR of the truck long before you will have to be concerned with the GCWR.

	Trailer Life Magazine Open Roads Forum: Tow Vehicles: Confused........GVWR vs. GAWR
		Trailer GVWR is 9950 so I was about maxed out on the trailer GVWR if you figure 2K on the pin.
		The weight rating for the entire vehicle (GVWR) is consideration for safe vehicle handling, again with built in safety margins for various speeds, weather and road conditions.
		Even at GVWR, a dip, bump in the road, or even a sharp curve could possibly produce loads in exceedance of the axle or tire weight rating.

	1975 W200 GVWR help (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		GVWR of my truck in the papers is 8003 lb (3630kg), vehicle weight is 6283 lb (2850kg) and by Slovenian law I need licence for truck to drive it (of course I don’t have this licence).
		The GVWR on a truck isn't determined so much by the springs anyway as it is by the axles you have under the truck.
		If you were to switch the suspension to that of a W150 or W100 and then switch the axles to a Dana 44 up front and Chrysler 9.25 in the rear, your payload capacity would be comparable to that of a W150 or W100.
