Need more specific measurement and capacity numbers? Visit Tyson Motor Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram near Joliet whether you’re in the market for RAM diesel trucks for sale (or Dodge diesel trucks for sale) or another model, and let’s look at the difference between curb weight, GVWR, and more.

What’s the Difference Between Curb Weight and GVWR?

You can think of GVWR as the max amount of weight you’ll want the vehicle and its contents to weigh. For example, the RAM 1500 curb weight doesn’t include passengers, additional equipment, or towing weight, while gross vehicle weight rating is the maximum weight that can be safely stowed in the vehicle, including the vehicle weight, passengers, cargo, and tongue weight if you’re towing. 

Note: Tongue weight is not the same as towing capacity. It’s simply the amount of weight the trailer places on the hitch itself.
