Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the

certification label.

Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the

originals because they may lower the vehicle’s GVWR and GAWR

limitations. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the originals do

not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations.

The Safety Certification Label, found on the driver’s door pillar, lists

several important vehicle weight rating limitations. Before adding any

additional equipment, refer to these limitations. If you are adding weight

to the front of your vehicle, (potentially including weight added to the

cab), the weight added should not exceed the front axle reserve capacity

(FARC). Additional frontal weight may be added to the front axle reserve

capacity provided you limit your payload in other ways (i.e. restrict the

number of occupants or amount of cargo carried).

Always ensure that the weight of occupants, cargo and equipment being

carried is within the weight limitations that have been established for

your vehicle including both gross vehicle weight and front and rear gross

axle weight rating limits. Under no circumstance should these limitations

be exceeded.

Exceeding any vehicle weight rating limitation could result in

serious damage to the vehicle loss of vehicle control, vehicle

rollover, and/or personal injury.

Special loading instructions for owners of pickup trucks and

utility-type vehicles

For important information regarding safe operation of this type

of vehicle, see the Preparing to drive your vehicle section in

this chapter.

Loaded vehicles, with a higher center of gravity, may handle

differently than unloaded vehicles. Extra precautions, such as

slower speeds and increased stopping distance, should be taken when

driving a heavily loaded vehicle.

Your vehicle has the capability to haul more cargo and people than most

passenger cars. Depending upon the type and placement of the load,

hauling cargo and people may raise the center of gravity of the vehicle.
