What is the difference between GVWR and GVW?

GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is the maximum weight a vehicle is rated to safely carry, including its own weight plus cargo and passengers. GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) is the actual weight of the vehicle when loaded, including all passengers and cargo. In essence, GVWR is a manufacturer’s limit, while GVW is a measurement of the vehicle's current weight. It's important for safety and compliance with regulations to ensure GVW does not exceed GVWR.
