Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, or GVWR is the rating given to a vehicle by the manufacturer. It can usually be found on the door pillar post (open the door and look for the sticker). Gross Combination Weight Rating is normally the weight assigned to a power unit (Truck Tractor) when speaking in terms of the weight of itself and the trailer. GCWR most generally would be 80,000 lbs., for a standard over the road truck configuration.
