Actually I believe larrivee1 is correct. GVW (gross vehicle weight) is the total actual
weight of the fully loaded trailer, and it is the sum of the
axle weight and tongue
weight. GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) is the upper limit of the trailer and everything in it. It all gets very confusing, but there's some help here:
