Limiting Your Vehicle’s Load
The load that you add to your vehicle must not
exceed the maximum load stated on the Safety
Compliance Certification Decal attached to the left
front door pillar.
To figure the weight of your vehicle’s load, add the
weights of:
❑
the driver and passengers
❑
luggage and any other items that you put in
your vehicle
❑
the tongue load of the loaded trailer
❑
the weight of any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle since it was delivered to
your dealer
If you do not know the actual weights of these
items, use the following procedure to figure the
weight of a load:
1.
Weigh your vehicle without the driver,
passengers and luggage. You might take your
vehicle to a shipping company or an inspection
station for trucks.
2.
Then weigh your vehicle with the driver,
passengers and luggage.
3.
Subtract the first reading from the second to
figure the total weight of the load.
After determining this load, you must also make
sure that the total weight of your vehicle, plus the
load it carries, is less than its GVWR. Also, make
sure that the weight your vehicle carries over each
axle is less than the GAWR for the respective axle.
