What Does Gcwr Mean

GCWR is the total weight of the truck pulling the trailer and the trailer itself. The truck chassis dictates proper GCWR for safe operation of the combination truck and trailer.

What is difference between GVWR and GCWR?

GVWR is the total weight of the truck (payload included), while GCWR is a specialized weight rating that can only be established by the manufacturer of the chassis.

How do I calculate my Gcwr?

You can calculate what the GCWR of your car is by adding the gross vehicle weight rating and the gross trailer weight. These two weight ratings will give you a rough number but you have to remember that the gross vehicle weight does not include the tongue weight, passengers, and cargo.
