and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated
in Step 4.

load capacity of your vehicle.
If your vehicle can tow a trailer, see Towing a
Trailer on page 331 for important information
on towing a trailer, towing safety rules,
