What is GVWR?
The gross vehicle weight rating is the total amount of weight of your truck can carry. It includes the weight of the vehicle itself, all the necessary fluids for operation (transmission fluid, gas, oil, etc.) as well as any cargo and passengers. The manufacturer calculates GVWR through rigorous testing. This information is located in your owner’s manual.
What is curb weight?
Curb weight is how much your truck weighs on its own without any passengers or cargo. This measurement includes a full tank of gas and any other fluids that are needed to keep your vehicle functioning properly. This information can be determined by having your truck weighed, or contacting your vehicle’s manufacturer.
What is payload capacity?
The payload capacity is the total amount of stuff your truck can carry. Payload capacity can be calculated merely by subtracting curb weight from GVWR. For example, your truck’s GVWR is 6100 lbs, and your truck’s curb weight is 4110 lbs. Its load capacity would be 1990 lbs. This value is the weight your truck can safely carry.
What are other factors to my GVWR and Payload Capacity?
Other factors that affect GVWR and payload capacity are engine types, cab type, and wheelbase as each engine weighs differently and yields varying horsepower. Having the correct wheelbase on the chassis in the proper place ensures that the weight is distributed safely. Cab types factor as different sizes affects the curb weight overall.
