capability, with or without a trailer. Properly loading your vehicle will

provide maximum return of vehicle design performance. Before loading

your vehicle, familiarize yourself with the following terms for determining

your vehicle’s weight ratings, with or without a trailer, from the vehicle’s

Safety Certification Label and Tire Label:

Base Curb Weight – is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of

fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or

optional equipment.

Vehicle Curb Weight – is the weight of your new vehicle when you

picked it up from your dealer plus any aftermarket equipment.

Payload – is the combined weight of cargo and passengers that the

vehicle is carrying. The maximum payload for your vehicle can be found

on the Tire Label on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. Look

for “THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF OCCUPANTS AND CARGO

SHOULD NEVER EXCEED XXX kg OR XXX lb.” for maximum

payload. The payload listed on the tire label is the maximum payload for

the vehicle as built by the assembly plant. If any aftermarket or dealer

installed equipment has been installed on the vehicle, the weight of the

equipment must be subtracted from the payload listed on the tire label

in order to determine the new payload.

The appropriate loading capacity of your vehicle can be limited

either by volume capacity (how much space is available) or by

payload capacity (how much weight the vehicle should carry). Once

you have reached the maximum payload of your vehicle, do not add

more cargo, even if there is space available. Overloading or improperly

loading your vehicle can contribute to loss of vehicle control and

vehicle rollover.
