How do I find the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating for my Ford?
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of a vehicle, also known as the Gross Net Vehicle Rating (GNVR), is shown on the vehicle’s Safety Compliance Certification Label, located on the driver's side door or the door latch post pillar.
GVWR is the maximum allowable weight of a fully-loaded vehicle (including passengers and cargo). The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) which is the measured weight of vehicle, cargo, and passengers, should never exceed the GVWR.
If attempting to determine the maximum allowable cargo capacity, we recommend weighing the vehicle with passengers on a commercial vehicle scale. The difference between the scale weight and the GVWR can be considered the maximum cargo capacity.
For more guidance on vehicle weight information:
- Visit the RV & Trailer Towing Guides page on the Ford Fleet website.
- Select the Towing Guide for your vehicle's model year.
- Refer to the information under "Know Before You Tow."
