unfortunately it is more complicated because the amount of axis and eventually the weight of trailers also have to be taken into account, therefore I'd prefer to have a reference from the osm definition (where it applies, e.g. European Union) to the legal documentation or copy these settings from the relevant legal code. (sounds more complicated than it is, I.e. s.th. like "gross weight rating as defined by the law where applicable")

As of the suggestion maxgross_weight
wouldn't it be better to use gross_maxweight?

cheers,
