Ok lets not make fun....
I know this may sound remedial and it's kind of odd considering i know quite a bit about the mechanical aspect of vehicles...but....What is GVWR?
Gross vehicle weight.........R? I know that for my truck its 8800 lbs. But what is it? Is that with a full tank, a full load, and a driver??
