DETERMINING VEHICLE LOAD
CAPACITY
The load capacity of this vehicle is
determined by weight, not by avail-
able cargo space. For example, a lug-
gage rack, bike carrier, car-top car-
rier or similar equipment does not
increase load carrying capacity of
your vehicle.
To determine vehicle load capacity:
Vehicle weight can be determined
by using a commercial-grade scale,
found at places such as a truck stop,
gravel quarry, grain elevator, or a
scrap metal recycling facility.
1. Determine the curb weight of
your vehicle.
2. Compare the curb weight
amount to the GVWR specified
for your vehicle to determine
how much more weight your ve-
hicle can carry.
3. After loading (cargo and pas-
sengers), re-weigh your vehicle
to determine if either GVWR or
GAWR for your vehicle is ex-
ceeded. If GVWR is exceeded, re-
move cargo as necessary. If ei-
ther the front or rear GAWR is
exceeded, shift the load or re-
move cargo as necessary.
