Example: steps 1 to 3
The following table shows examples on how to calculate total load and cargo capacities with
varying seating configurations and number and size of occupants. The following examples use
a load limit of 1500 lbs (680 kg). This is for illustration purposes only. Make sure you are
using the actual load limit for your vehicle stated on the vehicle’s Tire and Loading Information
placard (
Y
page 259).
Example 1 Example 2
Step 1 Combined maximum
weight of occupants and
cargo (data from the Tire

Gross weight of all
occupants

Example 1 Example 2
Step 3 Permissible cargo and
trailer load/noseweight
(maximum gross vehicle
weight rating from the Tire
and Loading Information
placard minus the gross
weight of all occupants)
1500 lbs (680 kg) -
175 lbs (80 kg) =
1325 lbs (600 kg)
1500 lbs (680 kg) -
370 lbs (168 kg) =
1130 lbs (512 kg)
The higher the weight of all the occupants, the smaller the maximum load for luggage.
Further information can be found under "Towing a trailer" (
Y
page 261).
Vehicle identification plate
Even if you have calculated the total load
carefully, you should still make sure that the
gross vehicle weight rating and the gross axle
weight rating are not exceeded. Details can
be found on the vehicle identification plate on
the B-pillar on the driver's side of the vehicle
(
Y
page 258).
