The resulting figure equals the available
4.
amount of cargo and luggage load 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 load capacity is
650 lbs (1400 − 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs).
Determine the combined weight of luggage
5.
and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in
Step 4.
If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, the load
6.
from your trailer will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how
this reduces the available cargo and luggage
load capacity for your vehicle.
See Towing a Trailer on page 4-28 for important
information on towing a trailer, towing safety rules,
and trailering tips.
