the hooks at a sideways angle. The hooks could
break off and you or others could be injured from
the chain or cable snapping back.
Never use tow hooks to tow the vehicle.
Your vehicle could be damaged and itwould not be

If your vehicle has tow hooks, the hooks are at the front

stuck off-road and need to be pulled to some place
where you can continue driving.

Loading the Vehicle

It is the responsibility of the Final Stage manufacturer to
install a Certification label on your vehicle. This label
shows how much weight your vehicle can properly
carry. It may also show the size of the vehicle's original
tires, and the inflation pressures needed to obtain the
gross weight capacity of your vehicle. This is called the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). The tire
information could also be shown on a separate Tire
Information label.
The GVWR includes the weight of the vehicle, all
occupants, fuel, and cargo.
The Certification label also tells you the maximum
weight for the front and rear axles, called the Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out the actual
loads on your front and rear axles, go to a weigh station
and weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can help you with
this. Be sure to spread out your load equally on both
sides of the center line.
