gvwr means gross vehicle weight rating

this is what the vehicle would weigh with all load .fuel, and passengers

empty ship weight is what the vehicle would weigh if being shipped

this would also indicate that there would be no load or passengers and minimum amout of fuel in vehicle

minimum fuel would only be enuff to move it from what it was shipped on

What is the difference between unloaded vehicle weight and gross vehicle weight?

Unloaded weight is just what it implies. The vehicle with no occupants and no load. A gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is the maximum allowable total weight of a road vehicle when loaded - i.e including the weight of the vehicle itself plus fuel, passengers, cargo, and trailer tongue weight.


What is the difference in weight between a ford f150 f250 f350?

It depends on year, because there was a light duty F250 prior to the latest series of Super Duty (F250+) which started in 1999. There is a huge difference in frame/driveline between an F150 and the F250/F350. 1999 to 2004, the difference between the F250 & F350 was minimal, the GVWR of the 250 was 8800lbs & the 350 (not dually) was 9900lbs. 2005+ saw the GVWR's increase significantly. The dry weight of a crew cab diesel F250/F350 with 8' box and 4x4 is in the mid 7000lbs range. The F150 SCREW (not sure on this) would likely weight in the mid 6000's. Ton's of other differences but too much to get into here.


How much weight does a Honda Prelude 86 have?

There are three weights used: GVWR and FRONT AXLE and REAR AXLE. For each vehicle this information is located by opening the driver's door and looking on the door jam (near latch) for the empty weight. My GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) for my '87 Prelude is 3340 lbs. Front axle weight is higher than the rear axle due to the engine up front.

How much payload you can haul depends on the tare (empty) weight of the vehicle. For a typical dump or box van, this could be five to seven tons of payload.


How much weight is allowed on a 26000lb straight truck?

26000 lbs. is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. That's the max it can legally weigh on the road. Subtract the vehicle's tare (empty) weight from that, and you have your allowable net weight. 4-1/2 to six tons is typical of the allowed net weight for a 26k GVWR truck.
