Where can the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) be found on a vehicle?

The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is a crucial specification that indicates the maximum weight a vehicle is rated to safely carry, including its own weight plus any load. This information can typically be found on a sticker or plate that is affixed to the vehicle.

In most cases, the GVWR is located on the driver’s side door jamb or on the frame of the vehicle. This location ensures that the driver can easily access this important information for safe operation and compliance with transportation regulations. Having the GVWR clearly displayed on a sticker or plate facilitates safety checks and informed vehicle operation.

While other choices might seem plausible, they do not provide the primary or most accessible means of obtaining the GVWR information. For example, under the hood or on the windshield is not a standard or reliable location for this information. The owner’s manual does contain valuable information regarding the vehicle, including specifications, but it may not always have the GVWR readily visible for immediate reference. Thus, the sticker or plate is the correct and most practical choice for locating the GVWR.
