Determining the correct load limit
Step-by-step instructions
The following steps have been developed as
required of all manufacturers under Title 49,
Code of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part 575
pursuant to the "National Traffic and Motor
Vehicle Safety Act of 1966".
Step 1: Locate the statement "The com-
X
bined weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs." on
your vehicle's Tire and Loading Information
placard.
Step 2: Determine the combined weight of
X
the driver and passengers that will be riding
in your vehicle.
Step 3: Subtract the combined weight of
X
the driver and passengers from XXX kilo-
grams or XXX lbs.
Step 4: The resulting figure equals the
X
available amount of cargo and luggage load
capacity. Example: if the "XXX" amount
equals 1400 lbs and there will be five
150 lbs passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and luggage load
capacity is 650 lbs (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) =
650 lbs).
Step 5: Determine the combined weight of
X
luggage and cargo being loaded on the
vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed
the available cargo and luggage load capa-
city calculated in step 4.
Step 6 (if applicable): If your vehicle will
X
be towing a trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your vehicle. This
reduces the available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle ( page 269).
