calculation would be: 635 kg - (2 x 99 kg) - (12 x 45 kg) = 635 - 198 -

540 = -103 kg. You will need to reduce the load weight by at least

240 lb. (104 kg). If you remove 3-100 lb. (45 kg) cement bags, then

the load calculation would be:

1,400 - (2 x 220) - (9 x 100) = 1,400 - 440 - 900 = 60 lb. Now you

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

In metric units, the calculation would be: 635 kg - (2 x 99 kg) - (9 x

45 kg) = 635 - 198 - 405 = 32 kg.

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 Safety Compliance

Certification Label found on the edge of the driver’s door.

TRAILER TOWING

Trailer towing puts additional loads on your vehicle’s engine,

transmission, axle, brakes, tires and suspension. For your safety and to

maximize vehicle performance, be sure to use the proper equipment

while towing.

Note: Long wheel based vehicles are NOT rated for towing.

Follow these guidelines to ensure safe towing:

• Do not tow a trailer until your vehicle has been driven at least

1,000 miles (1,600 km).

• Consult your local motor vehicle laws for towing a trailer.

• Refer to the instructions included with towing accessories for the

proper installation and adjustment specifications.

• Thoroughly prepare your vehicle for towing. Refer to Preparing to

tow in this chapter.

• Stay within your vehicle’s load limits.

• Use extra caution when driving while trailer towing. Refer to Driving

while you tow in this chapter.

• Service your vehicle more frequently if you tow a trailer. Refer to

Special operating conditions in your scheduled maintenance.

Your loaded trailer should weigh no more than 1,500 lb (680 kg). The

GCW of your vehicle and trailer should not exceed 6,600 lb (2,993 kg).

For load specification terms found on the label and instructions on

calculating your vehicle’s load, refer to Vehicle loading - with and

without a trailer in this chapter. Remember to figure in the tongue load

of your loaded vehicle when figuring the total weight.
