gross vehicle weight rating GVWR
This page is in English. Where a word has a checked translation, it appears after the English term.
The maximum loaded weight of a single vehicle, set by its manufacturer.
It is a rating printed on a label, not what the truck weighs today. A single vehicle rated 26,001 pounds or more needs a CDL. The CDL class you need depends on this rating, and on the trailer's rating when you tow.
