Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is the weight of the
orginall equipped vehicle and all items added to it
after it has left the factor . This would include bodies,
winches, booms, etc.; the driver and all occupants; and

weights must not exceed the front and rear GAWRs.
The Pa load Rating shown on the label is the
maximum allowable cargo load (including the weight of
the driver and all occupants) that the vehicle can carr
based on all factor installed equipment on the vehicle.
The Pa load Rating is reduced if an accessories or
other equipment is added to the vehicle after final date
of manufacture. The weight of these items should be
determined and deducted from the Pa load Rating.
The vehicle ma also have a GCWR (Gross
Combination Weight Rating). The GCW (Gross
Combination Weight) is the total weight of the loaded
tow vehicle (including passengers) and a loaded trailer.
