Subaru Outback (BR): GVWR and GAWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and Gross Axle Weight Rating)
Certification label
The certification label attached to the driver’s side door shows GVWR (Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating) and GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating).
The GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) must never exceed the GVWR. GVW is the combined
total of weight of the vehicle, fuel, driver, all passengers, luggage, any optional
equipment and trailer tongue load. Therefore, the GVW changes depending on the situation.
In addition, the total weight applied to each axle (GAW) must never exceed the
GAWR. The front and rear GAWs can be adjusted by relocating luggage inside the vehicle.
Even if the total weight of your luggage is lower than the vehicle capacity weight,
either front or rear GAW may exceed the GAWR, depending on the distribution of the
luggage.
When possible, the load should be evenly distributed throughout the vehicle.
If you carry heavy loads in the vehicle, you should confirm that GVW and front and
rear GAWs are within the GVWR and GAWR by putting your vehicle on a vehicle scale,
found at a commercial weighing station.
Do not use replacement tires with a lower load range than the originals because
they may lower the GVWR and GAWR limitations. Replacement tires with a higher load
range than the originals do not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations.
