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.

if
you do have
a

Do
not load your vehicle any heavier than the

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