components installed from the factory
on to the vehicle and their designed
specifications. (Axle weight ratings are
listed on the driver's door edge.)
The following are some definitions of
weight you should know:
GVWR:
is the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating. This is the MAXIMUM
WEIGHT your vehicle is allowed to
carry, including the weight of the empty
vehicle, loading platform, occupants,
fuel, and any load. Never exceed the
GVWR of your vehicle.
GCW:
is the actual combined weight,
or Gross Combination Weight (GCW),
of your vehicle and its load: vehicle,
plus trailer(s), plus cargo.
GAWR:
is the Gross Axle Weight
Rating. This is the total weight that
one axle is designed to transmit to the
ground. You will find this number listed
on the driver's door edge.
Load Distribution:
be sure any load
you carry is distributed so that no axle
has to support more than its GAWR.
WARNING!
An unevenly distributed load or a
load too heavy over one axle can af-
fect the braking and handling of your
vehicle, which could result in an ac-
cident. Even if your load is under the
legal limits, be sure it is distributed
evenly. Failure to comply may result
in death, personal injury, equipment
or property damage.
