GCVWR?

I'm curious about the GCVWR. Is this a figure posted on the vehicle somewhere, or is this a number found elsewhere. Is there a way of calculating this number with all the numbers found on the vehicles weight posting on the door?

If you have 4.10 gears, your GCWR is 18,500 pounds. If you have 3.73 gears its only 15,000. Keep in mind GCWR is just performance and warranty rating. If you're happy with it, great!

FWIW my typical combined weight is 22,000 pounds and it does very well at that weight (22k is the GCWR for the E450-V10 with 4.56 gears).

PS - The GCWR is in your owner's manual. Its a chart which lists the GCWR for each engine and differential ratio combination.
