Curb Weight vs. GVWR: What’s the Difference?

GVWR stands for Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. You can think of it as the max amount of weight the vehicle and its contents can weigh. In comparison, the RAM 1500 curb weight doesn’t include towing weight, equipment, or passengers. This means that you can calculate the maximum weight that can be safely stowed in the vehicle (including the vehicle weight, passengers, cargo, and tongue weight if you’re towing) by subtracting the curb weight from the GVWR. That’s why it’s so important to answer, “How much does the RAM 1500 weigh?” You’ll have a better idea of what you can safely load up at the Hastings work site.

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