What Do Towing Capacity Numbers Mean?

24. Chaque camion a towing capacity. This is a number from the manufacturer. It says the biggest weight you can pull safely. Never go over this number! It's important for you, your truck, and everyone on the road.

Look for these numbers:

• GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating): Total weight of your truck, plus the trailer, plus everything inside.
• GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): Weight of your loaded truck with people, fuel, and stuff.
• GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating): What each axle can safely hold. Front axle and rear axle are separate.
• Payload Capacity: How much you can put in the truck.
• Tongue Weight: The weight the trailer pushes down on your hitch.

You may find them on a sticker on your truck or in the owner's manual.

Why You Should Not Try to Tow More Than the Rating

If you tow too much, bad things can happen:

• Brakes may not stop you fast enough.
• Engine and transmission can get too hot.
• Frame or axle could bend or break.
• Pneus may blow out.
• Your insurance may not cover you.
• You could get a fine.
• Someone could get hurt.

Never try to pull more than the maker says! That’s where safety starts.

What Won’t Really Help You Tow More?

Let’s Look at a Real Example

A customer wanted to pull a camion de réservoir d’eau for long trips. Their old tires were soft and squishy. Brake pads were thin. The trailer sagged, and the engine sometimes ran hot.

My team at CLW GROUP put on Load Range E tires, heavy-duty brakes, helper springs, a big radiator, and a good brake controller. After that? The customer towed safely, even in hot weather. No more sag. Stopping was smooth, and nothing overheated.
