Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) are U.S. federal regulations specifying design, construction, performance, and durability requirements for motor vehicles and regulated Automobile safety-related components, systems, and design features.
Within those standards there is a vehicle certification process. It requires a federal certification label be attached to all vehicles manufactured under its purview. The certification label MUST display the vehicleโs GVWR, total weight a vehicle has been built to safely weigh, including passengers and cargo.
The only way the GVWR can be altered is by the vehicle manufacturer or a certified vehicle modifier.

Popcorn time!
The definitions are correct, however, it is not the max amount a vehicle "can" weigh. It is the rated max weight for a given class of vehicle. Some vehicles are much closer to being actually overloaded, when at their gvwr, than others.
