Gross combined weight rating

Gross combined weight rating (GCWR) is the maximum allowable weight that a road vehicle can tow in combination with its own Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). Deducting the GVWR from the GCWR will give you the vehicle's maximum towable weight limit if the gross trailer weight rating (GTWR) is unknown.
