Curb Weight vs. GVWR: What’s the Difference?

When talking about the RAM 1500 weight, you might initially think of these two terms as interchangeable when in fact they are two different weight measurements. The curb weight is just the weight of the vehicle without any passengers, equipment, or towing weight. The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely on or inside the vehicle, including passengers, cargo, and tongue weight. It’s important to note that tongue weight is the amount of weight the trailer places on the hitch and is not the same as towing capacity.
