GVWR question

What is the difference between the
licensed weight (GVW) shown on my
Owner’s Certificate (insurance papers)
and the GVWR on the vehicle itself?
When you license a vehicle, you pay a basic road
licensing fee based on the weight you plan tocarry and tow. You may increase the amount you
are licensed to carry by paying a higher fee;
however, this does not mean the vehicle will be
able to carry more weight. Vehicles cannot
exceed the manufacturers GVWR. Since heavier
vehicles cause more damage to the infrastructure
of our roads, the owners of these vehicles are
required to pay higher licensing fees to offset the
cost of maintaining roads. You may notice that
the licensed GVW on your insurance papers is
higher than your vehicle’s GVWR. This occurs
because the licensed weight (GVW) includes
both the load you carry on, or in, your vehicle and
the load you are towing. GVW refers to the
weight you are licensed to carry and tow. GVWR
refers to the weight your vehicle is designed to
carry.
