FOR
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
The CertificatiodTire label is found on the rear edge
of
the driver's door or
in
the
Incomplete Vehicle Document in the cab.
The label shows the size
of
your original tires and the inflation pressures
needed to obtain the gross weight capacity of your vehicle.
This
is
called the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the weight
of
the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo.
The Certificatioflire label also tells you the maximum weights for the
front and rear axles, called Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR).
To
find out
the actual loads on
your
front and rear axles,
you
need
to
go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can help you with this.
Be
sure
to spread out your load equally on both sides of the centerline.
Never exceed the
GVWR
for your vehicle, or the GAWR for either
the
front
or rear axle.
And, if you
do
have a heavy load,
you
should spread
it
out.
A
CAUTION:
In the
case
of
a
sudden
stop
or collision, things carried in the bed
of
your
truck
.could
shift
forward
and
come
into the passenger
area,
injuring you
and
others.
If
you
pat
things in the
bed
of
your truck,
you
should
make
sure
they
are
properly
secured.
