a)
GCWR is the (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 1000 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 weightdistributing hitch is
recommended for trailers more than 2000 pounds. Use
synthetic axle lubricant with the Trailer Tow Group. |
