Terminology & Abbreviations
Tongue Weight:
The downward load exerted on the tow point of the vehicle by the trailer. (Coupling Mass)
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight): The total mass of the trailer and cargo
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): Maximum rated total mass of trailer and cargo.
GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating): This is the total allowable combined mass of tow vehicle and trailer as
determined by the tow vehicle manufacturer.
Camber: Camber angle is the measure in degrees of the difference between the wheel’s vertical alignment
perpendicular to the surface. If a wheel is perfectly perpendicular to the surface, its camber would be 0 degrees.
Camber is described as negative when the top of the tire begins to tilt inward towards the chassis rail.
Your AUSRV trailer should be 0-0.5 degrees negative camber.
Toe In/out:
Negative toe, or toe out, is the front of the wheel pointing away from the centerline of the vehicle. Positive
toe, or toe in, is the front of the wheel pointing towards the centerline of the vehicle. Toe can be measured in linear units,
at the front or rear of the tire, or as an angular deflection. In the case of AUSRV products, the “toe in”
is measured in degrees or 64th’s of an inch at the front of the tire from the chassis rail.
Your AUSRV trailer should have toe in set at 3/64” to 5/64” over the diameter of the tire.
Tire Safety Information
This section of the User Manual contains tire safety information as required by 49 CFR 575.6.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit - Trailer
Trailers 10,000 Pounds GVWR or Less
1. Locate the statement “The weight of cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your Vehicles
placard. See figure 1-1
2. This figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
Tire and Loading Information Placard - Figure 1-1
3. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may
not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity.
The trailer’s placard refers to the Tire Information Placard attached adjacent to or near the trailer’s VIN (Certification)
label at the left front of the trailer.
Note: The following calculations in Sections 2.1.2 and 2.2 are not required by the government. For the purpose of
