Can someone explain GVWR

Can someone explain the GVWR for Badlands models?

This is something I didn’t notice until 22 B&P went live and some optional accessories were unavailable for the Badlands with forum members citing it would exceed that trim’s GVWR. If I can’t get something relatively light from the accessory catalog without Ford telling me I am exceeding the Badlands GVWR, should I be worried about loading it for luggage and people for road trips without exceeding the weight of the vehicle? It seems silly to me that as is the vehicle is overloaded without putting people in it but I’m sure I’m missing something.

The GVWR and accessory limitations have everything to do with CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) ratings. The vehicle is "capable" of exceeding the GVWR and I wouldn't be worried about adding those accessories. Ford won't offer some of them as "factory installed" because then the vehicle won't meet the CAFE standards.

So I shouldn’t be worried about road tripping a Squatched 4door Badlands? The conflict never crossed my mind last year when half these add ons weren’t available.

Gross vehicle weight rating.
The maximum amount of weight that the complete vehicle can handle. Including passengers and fluids.
