Tire Safety Information
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.).
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded
on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo
and luggage capacity calculated in Step # 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Consult the tow vehicle’s manual to
determine how this weight transfer reduces the available cargo and
luggage capacity of your vehicle.
