Two
labels on your vehicle show how much weight
it
may properly carry. The Tire-Loading Information label
found on the driver's door lock pillar tells you the
proper size, speed rating and recommended inflation
pressures for the tires on your vehicle. It also gives you
important information about the number
of
people that
can be in your vehicle and the total weight that you can
carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight
and includes the weight
of
all occupants, cargo and all
nonfactory-installed options.
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 th'e 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
heavy load, you should spread it
out. Don't
carry
more than
400
lbs.
(1
8
1
kg) in your
rear area when four people
are
in your two-wheel-drive
vehicle.
If
you have
a
four-wheel-drive vehicle, don't
carry
more
than
200
lbs.
(91
kg)
in
your rear area when
four people are
in
your vehicle.
