If your vehicle has gone over the weight ratings,
move or take out some things until all the
weight falls below the ratings.
Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that
could affect the balance of your vehicle. When the
truck-camper is loaded, drive to a scale and
weigh the front and the rear wheels separately to
determine axle loads. Individual axle loads
should not exceed either of the GAWRs. The total
of the front and rear axle loads should not
exceed your vehicle’s GVWR. These ratings are
given on the vehicle certification label attached
to the rear edge of the driver’s door. See
“Certification/Tire Label” under
Loading Your
Vehicle on page 409 . If weight ratings are
exceeded, move or remove items to bring all
weights below the ratings.
When you install and load your slide-in camper,
check the manufacturer’s instructions.
If you want more information on curb weights,
cargo weights, Cargo Weight Rating and the
correct center of gravity zone for your vehicle,
your dealer can help you. Just ask for a copy of
“Consumer Information, Truck-Camper Loading.”
Pickup Conversion to Chassis Cab
General Motors is aware that some vehicle owners
may consider having the pickup box removed
and a commercial or recreational body installed.
Owners should be aware that, as manufactured,
there are differences between a chassis cab and a
pickup with the box removed which may affect
vehicle safety. The components necessary
to adapt a pickup to permit its safe use with a
specialized body should be installed by the
body builder.
