GVWR is total weight including vehicle. GCWR same thing but with a trailer.

Correct, gross vehicle weight rating, total combined weight.

Breaking trailers in half?? Never heard the likes and i run local permits in pa. And rest assured there are tandem axle wagons with 33 plus tons on board at all times. The only way possible would be to hit a bumpy rail road track with a wagon thats 15 year old and missing a few critical fasteners before crossing rail tracks.

I could be wrong but I think that's the most product that you can put on the trailer
