Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit - Yetti

Trailers 10,000 Pounds GVWR or Less

Locate the statement, "The weight of cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.," on your vehicle's
placard. See figure below.
This figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.
Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity.
The trailer's placard refers to the Tire Information Placard attached adjacent to or near the trailer's VIN
(Certification) label at the left front of the trailer.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit – Tow Vehicle
Locate the statement, "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX lbs.," on
your vehicle's placard.
Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers who will be riding in your vehicle.
Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds.
The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage capacity. For example, if the "XXX"
amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.).
Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo and luggage capacity calculated in Step # 4.
If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult the
tow vehicle's manual to determine how this weight transfer reduces the available cargo and luggage
capacity of your vehicle
