Payload
Towing a Trailer
The payload capacity is shown on the CertificatiodTire
label. This is the maximum load capacity that your
vehicle can carry. Be sure to include the weight
of
the
occupants as part of your load. If you added any
accessories or equipment after your vehicle left the
factory, remember to subtract the weight of these things
from the payload. Your dealer can help you with this.
Add-on Equipment
When you carry removable items, you may need to put a
limit on how many people you carry inside your vehicle.
Be sure to weigh your vehicle before you buy and install
the new equipment.
