Information on Loading the
Vehicle
Overloading
Warning
Overloading can result in loss of vehicle
control and personal injury or death,
either by causing component failures or
by affecting vehicle handling. It can also
shorten the service life of your vehicle.
The components of your truck are designed
to provide satisfactory service if the vehicle
is not loaded in excess of either the gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or the
maximum front and rear gross axle weight
ratings (GAWRs). These ratings are listed on
the vehicle identification number (VIN) plate,
which is located on the left side rear pillar
panel below the striker (single cab) or on
the left center pillar panel beside the
shoulder seat belt anchor (crew cab).
Gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the weight of
the originally equipped vehicle and all items
added to it after it has left the factory. This
would include bodies, lift gates, refrigeration
systems, winches, booms, etc., the driver
and all occupants, and the load the vehicle
is carrying. The GVW must not exceed the
GVWR. Also, gross weight on each of the
front and rear axles must not exceed the
front and rear GAWRs respectively.
Your dealer can advise you of the proper
loading conditions for your vehicle. Using
selected heavier suspension components for
added durability may not increase any of
the weight ratings shown on the VIN and
weight rating plate.
