Basically it is the maximum weight your vehicle can weigh including itself, all passengers, cargo, gas, water, food, clothes, tongue weight, and anything else supported by the tires and axles.

Here's a rundown of the weight ratings:GAWR -- gross axle weight rating, the maximum weight that the axle and its suspension is designed to support. There would be a separate GAWR for each axle.GVWR -- gross vehicle weight rating, the maximum weight on all the axles of the vehicle added together. This may be (and usually is) less than the sum of the GAWRs.GCWR -- gross combined weight rating, the maximum total weight of the vehicle and and any towed trailers or cars or whatever.If you have a trailer, the tongue weight would get included along with the weight of the vehicle and occupants and cargo against the GVWR. The total trailer weight is included against the GCWR.A trailer hitch also has a weight rating (the maximum weight of a trailer that may be connected to it) and a tongue weight rating.
