It says my GVWR is 5,000, but i dont know what that means. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 1,464 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 1,464 | GVWR stands for Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and is the total weight the truck is rated for loaded with fuel, passengers, trailer tongue weight, etc., including the curb weight of the truck itself. You can take your truck to a truck stop and have it weighed to find out the curb weight. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 131 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 131 | waldo53 - That is one awesome truck I love the engine!

When I came back through to see how much I had loaded, well, I was a little over the GVWR at 5200 lbs. I drove reeeeal slow back home (40 in a 55 mph). | | |
