The Certificatioflire label also tells you the maximum
weights for the front and rear axles, called Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR).
To
find out the actual loads on
your front and rear axles, you need to go to a weigh
station and weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can help
you with this. Be sure to spread out your load equally on
both sides of the centerline.
Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, or the
GAWR for either the front or rear axle.
If you do have
a
heavy load, you should spread it out.
Similar appearing vehicles may have different GVWRs
and payloads. Please note your vehicle's
Certificationmire label or consult your dealer for
additional details.

Do not load your vehicie any heavier than the
GVWR, or either the maximum front or rear
GAWR. If you do, parts on your vehicle
can
break,
or it can change the way your vehicle handles. These
could cause you to lose control.
Also,
overloading
can
shorten the life of your vehicle.
Using heavier suspension components
to
get added
durability might not change your weight ratings. Ask
your dealer to help you load your vehicle the right way.
NOTICE:
Your warranty does not cover parts or
components that fail because of overloading.
If you put things inside your vehicle
--
like suitcases,
tools, packages, or anything else
--
they will go as fast
as the vehicle
goes. If
you have to stop or turn quickly,
or
if there is a crash, they'll keep going.
