weight limit than the originals do
not increase the GVWR or the
GAWR limitations.
In high altitudes, engines will lose
power at a rate of 3% power per
1000 ft increase in elevation. A
reduction in GVW and GCW is
recommended for maximum
vehicle performance.
Remember to figure in the tongue
load of your loaded trailer when
figuring the total weight.
Do not exceed the GVWR
or the GAWR specified on
the Safety Compliance
Certification Label.
Driving with a heavy load
The total vehicle weight plus the
total weight of passengers and
cargo should never exceed the
GVWR.
The weight that the vehicle carries
over the front and rear axles
should never exceed the GAWR for
the respective axle.
The weight limits of your vehicle’s
tires affect the GVWR or GAWR
limitations. Using tires with higher
weight limits than the original tires
will not increase the GVWR or
GAWR of your vehicle; using tires
with lower weight limits may lower
the GVWR or GAWR of your
vehicle.
