Subaru Outback: Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

Gross Vehicle Weight
The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) must never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR).
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is the combined total of the weight of the vehicle,
driver, passengers, luggage, trailer hitch, trailer tongue load and any other optional
equipment installed on your vehicle. Therefore, the GVW changes depending on the
situation. Determine the GVW each time before going on a trip by putting your vehicle
and trailer on a vehicle scale. GVWR is shown on the certification label located
on the driver’s door of your vehicle.
