What does the gross combined weight consist of?

The gross combined weight refers to the total weight of both a vehicle and any trailers it may be towing when they are fully loaded. This includes the curb weight of the vehicle, which is the weight of the vehicle itself without any cargo or passengers, plus the loaded weight of the trailer, which encompasses all items and cargo being carried in the trailer. Understanding this measurement is crucial for safe towing practices and ensuring compliance with legal weight limits for vehicles on the road. It helps in assessing the vehicle's capability to carry and tow safely within legal and performance parameters.
