Vehicle Loading
Maximum Front and Rear Axle Weights
The GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is the
maximum permissible loaded weight of the vehicle,
taking into account the capability of the engine,
transmission, frame, springs, brakes, axles and tires.
The weight of the cargo load must be properly
distributed over both the front and rear axles. The
Certification label shows the maximum weight that the
front axle can carry (fron GAWR) and the maximum
weight that the rear axle can carry (rear GAWR).
CAUTION:
The components of your vehicle are designed to
provide satisfactory service if the vehicle is not
loaded in excess of front and rear Gross Axle
Weight Ratings (GAWR’s). Overloading can
result in loss of the vehicle control and personal
injury. It can also shorten the service life of
your vehicle.
