Information on
Loading the Vehicle
Overloading
{
Warning
Overloading can result in loss of
vehicle control and personal
injury or death, either by causing
component failures or by affecting
vehicle handling. It can also
shorten the service life of your
vehicle.
The components of your truck are
designed to provide satisfactory
service if the vehicle is not loaded in
excess of either the gross vehicle
weight rating (GVWR) or the
maximum front and rear gross axle
weight ratings (GAWRs). For diesel
engines, these ratings are listed on
the vehicle identification number
(VIN) plate, which is located on the
left side rear pillar panel below the
striker. For gas engines, these
ratings are listed on the
“
Vehicle
Certification and Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) Emissions Plate
”
, which is
located on the left side rear pillar
panel below the striker (single cab)
or on the left center pillar panel
beside the shoulder seat belt anchor
(crew cab).
Gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the
weight of the originally equipped
vehicle and all items added to it
after it has left the factory. This
would include bodies, liftgates,
refrigeration systems, etc., winches,
booms, etc., the driver and all
occupants, and the load the vehicle
is carrying. The GVW must not
exceed the GVWR. Also, gross
weight on each of the front and rear
axles must not exceed the front and
rear GAWRs respectively.
Your dealer can advise you of the
proper loading conditions for your
vehicle. Using selected heavier
suspension components for added
durability may not increase any of
the weight ratings shown on the VIN
and weight rating plate for diesel
engines and on the
“
Vehicle
Certification and Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) Emissions Plate
”
for gas
engines.
