The other label is the Certification label, also found on
the driver’s door lock pillar. It tells you the gross weight
capacity of your vehicle, called
the
GVWR (Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the weight
of the vehicle,
all
occupants, fuel and cargo. Never
exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, or the Gross Axle
Weight Rating
(GAWR)
for either the front or rear axle.
And,
if
you do have
a

the vehicle goes. If
you
have
to
stop or turn quickly, or
if there is a crash, they’ll keep going.
