Gross combination weight rating (GCWR) means the
value specified by the manufacturer as
the loaded weight of a combination (articulated)
motor vehicle. In the absence of a value
specified by the manufacturer, GCWR will be
determined by adding the GVWR of the power
unit and the total weight of the towed unit and
any load thereon.
