Won't find the GCWR on the door frame. It will only have the axle and vehicle ratings.
Following the manuals GCWR will preserve your warrantee, let you meet acceleration targets, let you climb steep grades without concern for overheating, start on steep grades from dead stop, apply the parking brake on a steep grade and leave the vehicle, all kinds of things that are great but aren't applicable for everyone.
