GVWR/Towing capacity question
This new Dodge lists the GVWR at 6,350lbs and a towing capacity of 9,200lbs. I thought your GVWR was your towing capacity. Help in layman's terms? Thanks folks... -Doug

In layman's terms:
GVWR = The maximum that the Dodge can weigh.
GCWR = The maximum that the Dodge and the trailer can weigh.
FAWR = The maximum that the front axle of the Dodge can weigh.
RAWR = The maximum that the rear axle of the Dodge can weigh.
What you can tow (What it can pull) = GCWR - Actual weight of the Dodge.
Your Dodge's payload (what it can carry) = GVWR - Actual weight of the Dodge.
