Gross Vehicle Weight is EVERYTHING. It is the weight of the vehicle and everything it is carrying, right now. It changes as you put stuff in and take stuff out. It changes as you burn fuel and add fuel.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is the maximum gross vehicle weight allowed by the manufacturer (or a taxing entity, because sometimes that is the purpose of the number).
The way you ask the question makes me think you are asking about some other weight rating or standard for weight measurement.
