| Question
- What is the
meaning of "GCVWR" or "GCWR?" |
| Answer:
"Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) is another design capacity of
a towing vehicle. It means the maximum weight rating of a towing vehicle
and a towed unit in combination. GCWR takes into consideration such
things as the drive train capacity (i.e. engine, transmission, drive shaft
and differential), gearing, braking capacity, suspension, and axle
loading. When integrating a tow vehicle with a trailer, either a fiver or
travel trailer, add the GVWR of the trailer with the GVWR of the tow
vehicle. If they add up to more than the GCWR of the tow vehicle it's a
bad match. The only solution is to pick a lighter trailer or a bigger tow
vehicle. The same applies to a self contained unit and a towed unit,
either four wheels down or on a dolly. Each of the big three pickup truck
manufacturers (Chevrolet, Dodge and Ford) state in their literature a
"Trailer Towing Capacity" as well as an alternate method for
determining maximum allowable trailer weight. The published towing
capacity is maximum allowable trailer GVWR, but usually requires extra
optional features - called a towing package, and other options such as a
particular engine or rear axle ratio." Please read our RV
