Vehicle load limit
Example 3
Refer to your vehicle's tire and
loading information label for spe
-
cific information about your vehi
-
cle's capacity weight and seating
positions. The combined weight
of the driver, passengers and
cargo should never exceed your
vehicle's capacity weight.
Certification label
The certification label is located
on the driver's door sill at the
center pillar.
This label shows the maximum
allowable weight of the fully
loaded vehicle. This is called the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight of the vehicle, all occu
-
pants and cargo.
This label also tells you the maxi
-
mum weight that can be sup
-
ported by 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.
