! Gross Axle Weight (GAW) and Gross Axle

Weight Rating (GAWR)

Gross Axle Weight

The total weight applied to each axle (GAW) must nev-

er exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). The

front and rear GAWs can be adjusted by relocating

passengers and luggage inside the vehicle. The front

and rear GAWR are also shown on the certification

plate.

Certification label

To check both GVWR and GAWR and to confirm that

the total weight and weight distribution are within safe

driving limits, you should have your vehicle and trailer

weighed at a commercial weighing station.

Be sure that all cargo is firmly secured to prevent a

change in weight distribution while driving.
