So, just do a quick search of the page for "combination" and you'll see these terms are not made up.

Commercial to non commercial is an apples to oranges comparison and totally irrelevant to anything we do here. The Feds have their own regs, which, fortunately do not apply to us. Also, if you add the GVWR of the tow vehicle and the GVWR of the trailer, you do not have the GCWR, you have the GCW...big difference. The GCWR is established by the tow vehicle's manufacturer.
