How can you find the GVWR of several different vehicles?

The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is usually found in several places on a vehicle:

* The Driver's Side Doorjamb Sticker (or B-pillar): This sticker is often called the Certification Label or Safety Compliance Certificate. It lists a wealth of information, including the GVWR. This is the most reliable location.

* The Owner's Manual: The owner's manual will specify the GVWR.

* The Vehicle's Data Plate: This plate is usually located on the dashboard, under the hood, or on the driver's side doorjamb. It might list GVWR, but this is less common than the doorjamb sticker.

* Online Resources: You can often find the GVWR for a specific make, model, and year by searching online. Websites like the manufacturer's website, Edmunds, Kelley Blue Book (KBB), or others specializing in vehicle specifications are good starting points. Be sure to specify the exact year and model, as GVWR can vary slightly even within the same model year.

* The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): While not directly showing the GVWR, using the VIN with a vehicle history report service (like Carfax or AutoCheck) can provide the GVWR as part of the vehicle's specifications.

For multiple vehicles: You'll need to repeat this process for each vehicle. Using online resources is more efficient for multiple vehicles if you know the make, model, and year of each. Be aware that relying on online resources requires accuracy in entering the vehicle details.
