I have never seen a GCWR provided with this vehicle. Only GVWR.
Why are you interested in the weight of your van AND trailer combined?

Yes. I’d like use trailer for hotshot with DOT & MC authority. Need to know my legal and safe limits on weight first.

hotshot is the term for transporting freight, usually in a hurry

MC is a motor carrier number used for traveling to multiple states whereas DOT number alone, I think, only allows transport inside one state. Feel free to add to my understanding anyone.

Some 2500s have 1-ton suspension and brakes rated for 8900 lbs, with 8 lug wheels, some have smaller brakes and a lower rating, It probably says right on the sticker on the door.

I would imagine your combined rating will depend on the braking ability of what you pull with it.

I believe this is what you're looking for ...

It depends on your axle ratio, which you can glean from the RPO codes on your door sticker.
