Do
not ad your vehicle any heavier than the
GVWR,
or either
the
maximum front
or
rear
GAWR.

you do, parts on your vehicle can

it
can change the way your vehicle
handles. These could cause you to lose
control and crash.
Also,
overloading can
shorten the life of your vehicle.

Your warranty does not cover parts or
