The 2024 Volvo VNR is a Class 8 regional haul tractor, and its towing capacity is determined by its Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) in combination with its curb weight.
Quick Answer
- Max Towing Capacity: Up to 80,000 lbs (GCWR dependent)
- Max Payload: Varies significantly by configuration (often tens of thousands of pounds for the tractor itself), as the VNR is designed to pull heavy trailers rather than carry heavy loads on its chassis.
- GVWR: Up to 60,000 lbs (depending on axle configuration)
- GCWR: Up to 80,000 lbs (standard), higher ratings may be available for specific applications with proper spec'ing.
- Curb Weight: Approximately 15,000–20,000 lbs (varies greatly by configuration, wheelbase, engine, and accessory)
- Hitch Class: Class 8 pintle hitch or fifth-wheel coupling. Tongue weight is not applicable in the traditional sense for a fifth-wheel setup; instead, kingpin weight is a critical factor.
