Total Weight On Your Vehicle's Tires - Hummer H2 2004 Owner's Manual

Total Weight on Your Vehicle's Tires

Be sure your vehicle's tires are inflated to the upper limit
for cold tires. You'll find these numbers on the
Certification label at the rear edge of the driver's door or
see Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-63. Then be
sure you don't go over the GVW limit for your vehicle,
or the GAWR, including the weight of the trailer tongue.
If you use a weight distributing hitch, make sure you
don't go over the rear axle limit before you apply
the weight distribution spring bars.
Hitches
It's important to have the correct hitch equipment.
Crosswinds, large trucks going by and rough roads are
a few reasons why you'll need the right hitch.
