Dodge Charger: VEHICLE LOADING / Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle. This includes driver,
passengers, and cargo. The total load must be limited so that you do not exceed
the GVWR.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum capacity of the front and rear axles. Distribute the
load over the front and rear axles evenly. Make sure that you do not exceed either
front or rear GAWR.
https://ecufix.info WARNING!
Because the front wheels steer the vehicle, it is important that you do
not exceed the maximum front or rear GAWR. A dangerous driving condition can result
if either rating is exceeded. You could lose control of the vehicle and have a collision.
Your vehicle has a Vehicle Certification Label affixed to the drivers side B-pillar
or the rear of the driver’s door.
The label contains the following information:
Name of manufacturer

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
