Subaru Legacy BN/BS (2015-2019) Owners Manual: Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) must never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is the combined total of the weight of the vehicle, driver, passengers, luggage, trailer hitch, trailer tongue load and any other optional equipment installed on your vehicle. Therefore, the GVW changes depending on the situation. Determine the GVW each time before going on a trip by putting your vehicle and trailer on a vehicle scale. The GVWR of your vehicle that is set by SUBARU is shown on the certification label located on the driver's door of your vehicle.
