WARNING

Never Exceed Axle Weight Rating Limits:

Exceeding the Safety Certification Label
axle weight rating limits is dangerous and
could result in death or serious injury as a
result of substandard vehicle handling,
performance, engine, transmission and/or
structural damage, serious damage to the
vehicle, or loss of control.
Always keep the vehicle within the axle
weight rating limits.

GCW

GCW (Gross Combination Weight)

 is

the weight of the loaded vehicle (GVW).
 

GCWR (Gross Combination Weight
Rating)

 is the maximum allowable weight

of the vehicle - including all cargo and
passengers - that the vehicle can handle
without risking damage. 

The GCW must

never exceed the GCWR.

WARNING

Never Exceed GVWR or GAWR
Specifications:

Exceeding the GVWR or the GAWR specified
on the certification label is dangerous.
Exceeding any vehicle rating limitation
could result in a serious accident, injury, or
damage to the vehicle.
Do not use replacement tires with lower
load carrying capacities than the originals
because they may lower the vehicle's
GVWR and GAWR limitations. Replacement
tires with a higher limit than the originals
do not increase the GVWR and GAWR
limitations.
Never exceed the GVWR or the GAWR
specified on the certification label.
