Help needed! GVWR & GAWR - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

opinion · 10-02-2023, 10:28 AM

Hello
I just purchased a 5th gen convertible and I'm in registration process. They called me today and told me that GVWR is not equal with sum of GAWR front and rear, it's more with 100 kg. This is the info that is on sticker from B pillar driver side.
Can someone help me with some sort of official info about this topic?

Thank you

I registered a car in a state that required vehicle weight and it wasn't in their computer.
GROSS veh weight is how much it can carry plus the car weight, it is not what they needed it would make the fee higher than was proper.
They wanted the EMPTY of cargo and passengers weight.
This required me to go to a truck weighing scale and bring them the printed paper of the actual weight with me not inside. This info might help you. They would not accept some website or "someone said" as an official answer.

Actually what I'm looking for is the info from the sticker which is located on B pillar on passenger door.
Does anyone has a Camaro convertible and can help me with information for the mass?
In my case the the GVWR is higher with 99 kg compared to sum of GAWR's.

Here is a pic (not my car) 2011 convertible. Not sure why they look so different. Look for your rpo sticker under the carpet left side of the trunk & make sure you have a vin match. I ran this yours & no export details were found.

My car had a crash on left side a while ago in US and then it was exported in Europe, probably when they fixed it they use some cheap grafic.
