You are referring to GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Recommendation): maximum recommended vehicle weight. Generally you will see specifications for curb weight. Curb weight underestimates actual weight because it does not include items such as fuel.

vehicle) - vehicle weight including:
standard and optional equipment, fluids,
emergency tools, and spare tire
assembly. This weight does not include
passengers and cargo.

weight plus the combined weight of
passengers and cargo.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)

of the unloaded vehicle, passengers,
luggage, hitch, trailer tongue load and
any other optional equipment. This information
