Figure 32. VIN Label, Tire and Loading Information Placard
Trailers 10,000 Pounds Gvwr or Less
1. Locate the statement, “The weight of cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.,” on your
vehicle’s placard. See Figure 27.
2. This figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
3. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight
may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity.
The trailer’s placard refers to the Tire Information Placard attached adjacent to or near the trailer’s VIN
(Certification) label at the left front of the trailer.
Trailers Over 10,000 Pounds GVWR
NOTE: Trailers over 10,000 lb. GVWR are not required to have a tire information placard on the
vehicle.
1. Determine the empty weight of your trailer by weighing the trailer using a public scale or other
means. This step does not have to be repeated.
2. Locate the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of the trailer on your trailer’s VIN (Certification)
label.
3. Subtract the empty weight of your trailer from the GVWR stated on the VIN label. That weight is
the maximum available cargo capacity of the trailer and may not be safely exceeded.
Steps For Determining Correct Load Limit – Tow Vehicle
1. Locate the statement, “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX
lbs.,” on your vehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers who will be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage capacity. For example, if
the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and luggage capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.).
