(a) GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating) is the maximum allowable total weight of a fully equipped truck and trailer with cargo, driver and passengers,
fuel, coolant, equipment, etc.
(b) GTWR (Gross Trailer Weight Rating) is the maximum allowable weight of the trailer and its cargo, GTWR = GCWR minus curb weight of truck minus
150 pounds (allowance for driver) and must be further decreased by the weight of optional equipment, trailer hitch, cargo, and passengers. Maximum
trailer weights shown are rounded to the nearest 50 pounds. Recommended tongue weight is 10 to 15 percent of loaded trailer weight, but must not
exceed 500 pounds using a bumper-mounted hitch ball (Class III trailers) or 1,000 pounds using a weight-distributing receiver hitch (Class IV trailers).
This requirement overrides GTWRs shown. Additionally, tongue weight should never cause vehicle to exceed GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
or GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating). A weight-distributing hitch is recommended for trailers more than 2,000 pounds.
