pounds, the calculation would be: 1400 – (2 x 220) – (12 x 100) =

1400–440–1200=–40pounds; no, you do not have enough cargo

capacity to carry that much weight. You will need to reduce the load

weight by at least 240 pounds. If you remove 3-100 pound cement

bags, then the load calculation would be:

1400 – (2 x 220) – (9 x 100) = 1400 – 440 – 900 = 60 pounds; now you

have the load capacity to transport the cement and your friend home.

The above calculations also assume that the loads are positioned in your

vehicle in a manner that does not overload the Front or the Rear Gross

Axle Weight Rating specified for your vehicle on the Certification label

found on the driver’s door.

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 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 can 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.

TRAILER TOWING

Your vehicle may tow a Conventional/Class IV trailer or fifth wheel trailer

provided the maximum trailer weight is less than or equal to the

maximum trailer weight listed for your engine and rear axle ratio on the

following charts.

To calculate your maximum trailer weight:

for pickup trucks take the GVWR and subtract the payload, take

estimated curb weight adn the driver’s weight, and substract them from

the GCWR listed for your vehice in the following chart/table given its

series, engine, transmission and drive axle ration. This calculation will

give you the maximum trailer weight possible for your vehicle.

for chassis cabs and pickup trucks with aftermarket equipment:

weigh your vehicle at a certified scale and subtract this actual curb
