VEHICLE LOADING

Certification Label

As required by National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration regulations, your vehicle has a
certification label affixed to the driver's side door
or pillar.
This label contains the month and year of manu-
facture, Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR),
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) front and rear,
and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). A Month-
Day-Hour (MDH) number is included on this label
and indicates the Month, Day and Hour of manu-
facture. The bar code that appears on the bottom
of the label is your VIN.

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
The GVWR is the total permissible weight of
your vehicle including driver, passengers, ve-
hicle, options and cargo. The label also speci-
fies maximum capacities of front and rear axle
systems (GAWR). Total load must be limited so
GVWR and front and rear GAWR are not ex-
ceeded.
Payload
The payload of a vehicle is defined as the
allowable load weight a truck can carry, includ-
ing the weight of the driver, all passengers,
options and cargo.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
The GAWR is the maximum permissible load on
the front and rear axles. The load must be
distributed in the cargo area so that the GAWR
of each axle is not exceeded.
Each axle GAWR is determined by the compo-
nents in the system with the lowest load carry-
ing capacity (axle, springs, tires or wheels).
Heavier axles or suspension components
sometimes specified by purchasers for in-
creased durability does not necessarily in-
crease the vehicle's GVWR.

Tire Size
The tire size on the Vehicle Certification Label
represents the actual tire size on your vehicle.
Replacement tires must be equal to the load
capacity of this tire size.
Rim Size
This is the rim size that is appropriate for the tire
size listed.
Inflation Pressure
This is the cold tire inflation pressure for your
vehicle for all loading conditions up to full
GAWR.
Curb Weight
The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the
total weight of the vehicle with all fluids, includ-
ing vehicle fuel, at full capacity conditions, and
with no occupants or cargo loaded into the
vehicle. The front and rear curb weight values
are determined by weighing your vehicle on a
commercial scale before any occupants or
cargo are added.
