Notes: For high altitude operation, reduce GCW by 2% per 1,000 ft (300
meters) elevation. For definitions of terms used in this table and instructions
on how to calculate your vehicle load, refer to Vehicle loading in this
chapter. Maximum trailer weights shown. The combined weight of the
completed towing vehicle and the loaded trailer must not exceed the GCWR.
In ambient temperatures greater than 100°F (38°C), it is recommended that
the maximum GCW be reduced to 8,000 lb. (3,629 kg) for the 3.73 axle. At
these temperatures, vehicle speed should be kept below 60 mph (97 km/h)
during highway operation. Extended operation above 4,000 rpm should be
avoided.
