gvwr = how much weight it can pull from a trailer hitch, like how much heavy a trailer can be before its too much. The cars weight (including passangers) + cargos weight = the maximum vehicle weight.

I would assume around 2 tons max. Though that may be abit much. The car weights 2700 lbs. so just add the weight of yourself / party (omg gamerz lingo) and the weight of the trailer with contents.

EDIT:  
Weavers beat me to it… \>:[

I’m too lazy but this would be a good place to insert a “dead horse being dragged” joke.

S13 Door Jam sticker says as follows:  
GVWR = 3794lbs.  
GVWR FR. = 1925 lbs.  
GVWR RR. = 1883 lbs.

You’re off by quite a bit… S14 do not weigh in at close to 4000lbs

S14’s weigh between 2700lbs and 2900lbs depending on trim. And unless you’re hauling over 600lbs worth of stuff in your car…

Here’s one of MANY links I found just by searching.

S13counterpart - vehicle weight and GVWR are totally different.

GVWR is maximum weight each axle will support, hence why XenoVibe posted total, front and rear.

Vehicle weight is empty weight, no gas, no passengers.

^I didn’t notice the gvwr in the OP’s post. Then I was referring to weaves post.
