Curb weight refers to the weight of a vehicle when it is empty, including all fluids such as oil and a full tank of gas, but without any passengers or cargo. Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), on the other hand, is the total weight of the vehicle when it is loaded with passengers, cargo, and any additional equipment. The difference between the two is crucial for understanding a vehicle's payload capacity and for compliance with weight regulations.
CURB WEIGHT: the wight of a vehicle when unladen with passenger(s) and/or cargo. GVW: weight of vehicle laden with cargo and passenger(s)
6,200 GVW - 4,556 Curb Weight = 1,634 total paylod (all in lbs.)
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is the actual weight of a vehicle when it is fully loaded with passengers and cargo. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is the maximum weight that a vehicle is designed to carry, including passengers and cargo. The key difference is that GVW is the actual weight, while GVWR is the maximum allowed weight.
Best thing to do is look at the sticker on the driver door jam or door and read the g.v.w the gvw is not the curb weight, it is the max weight of the vehicle including passengers and luggage
Listed on the driver's door post. that is incorrect, listed on the door post is the GVW (gross vehicle weight) not the curb weight. I've weighed my 88 4x4 twice - 5115 and 5185lbs - guess it depends on how much gas ya got.
gvw means GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT. so no the combined weight cannot,or rather should not exceed gvw and if you do exceed the gvw,and get weighed,there are heavy fines and a lot of times vehicle is not allowed to be moved until excess weight is removed
Taken off my 1980, 1754, curb wt. is 19,740, pay is 7,340, GVW would be 27,080.
