VEHICLE LOADING

(GVWR)
The GVWR is the total permissible weight of your
vehicle including driver, passengers, vehicle,
options and cargo. The Vehicle Certification Label
specifies maximum capacities of front and rear
axle systems (GAWR). Total load must be limited so
GVWR and front and rear GAWR are not exceeded.
P
AYLOAD
The payload of a vehicle is defined as the allowable
load weight a truck can carry, including the weight
of the driver, all passengers and cargo.
G A
ROSS XLE
The GAWR is the maximum permissible load on the
front and rear axles. The load must be distributed
in the cargo area so that the GAWR of each axle is
not exceeded.
Each axle GAWR is determined by the components
in the system with the lowest load carrying capacity
(axle, springs, tires or wheels). Heavier axles or
suspension components sometimes specified by
purchasers for increased durability do not
necessarily increase the vehicle's GVWR.
