What is the difference bewtween curb weight and GVw?

Curb weight refers to the weight of a vehicle when it is empty, including all fluids such as oil and a full tank of gas, but without any passengers or cargo. Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), on the other hand, is the total weight of the vehicle when it is loaded with passengers, cargo, and any additional equipment. The difference between the two is crucial for understanding a vehicle's payload capacity and for compliance with weight regulations.
