VEHICLE LOADING

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

The GVWR is the total permissible weight of your vehicle

including driver, passengers, vehicle, options and cargo. The

label also specifies maximum capacities of front and rear axle

systems (GAWR). Total load must be limited so GVWR and

front and rear GAWR are not exceeded.

Payload

The payload of a vehicle is defined as the allowable load

weight a truck can carry, including 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 components in the

system with the lowest load carrying capacity (axle, springs,

tires or wheels). Heavier axles or suspension components

sometimes specified by purchasers for increased durability

does not necessarily increase 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.

STARTING AND OPERATING

411

Curb Weight

The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the total weight of

the vehicle with all fluids, including 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.

Loading

The actual total weight and the weight of the front and rear

of your vehicle at the ground can best be determined by

weighing it when it is loaded and ready for operation.
The entire vehicle should first be weighed on a commercial

scale to insure that the GVWR has not been exceeded. The

weight on the front and rear of the vehicle should then be

determined separately to be sure that the load is properly

distributed over the front and rear axle. Weighing the vehicle

may show that the GAWR of either the front or rear axles has

been exceeded but the total load is within the specified

GVWR. If so, weight must be shifted from front to rear or

rear to front as appropriate until the specified weight limita-

tions are met. Store the heavier items down low and be sure

that the weight is distributed equally. Stow all loose items

securely before driving.

Improper weight distributions can have an adverse effect on

the way your vehicle steers and handles and the way the

brakes operate.

TRAILER TOWING

In this section you will find safety tips and information on

limits to the type of towing you can reasonably do with your

vehicle. Before towing a trailer, carefully review this infor-

mation to tow your load as efficiently and safely as possible.
To maintain the New Vehicle Limited Warranty coverage,

follow the requirements and recommendations in this

manual concerning vehicles used for trailer towing.

CAUTION!

Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR or

the maximum front and rear GAWR. If you do, parts on

your vehicle can break, or it can change the way your

vehicle handles. This could cause you to lose control.

Also overloading can shorten the life of your vehicle.

5

412 STARTING AND OPERATING

Common Towing Definitions

The following trailer towing related definitions will assist

you in understanding the following information:
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle. This

includes driver, passengers, cargo and tongue weight. The

total load must be limited so that you do not exceed the

GVWR. Refer to “Vehicle Loading/Vehicle Certification

Label” in “Starting And Operating” for further information.
Gross Trailer Weight (GTW)

The GTW is the weight of the trailer plus the weight of all

cargo, consumables and equipment (permanent or tempo-

rary) loaded in or on the trailer in its "loaded and ready for

operation" condition.
The recommended way to measure GTW is to put your fully

loaded trailer on a vehicle scale. The entire weight of the

trailer must be supported by the scale.

Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR)

The GCWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle and

trailer when weighed in combination.
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)

The GAWR is the maximum capacity of the front and rear

axles. Distribute the load over the front and rear axles evenly.

Make sure that you do not exceed either front or rear GAWR.

Refer to “Vehicle Loading/Vehicle Certification Label” in

“Starting And Operating” for further information.

WARNING!

If the gross trailer weight is 5,000 lbs (2,267 kg) or more,

it is recommended to use a weight-distributing hitch to

ensure stable handling of your vehicle. If you use a

standard weight-carrying hitch, you could lose control of

your vehicle and cause a collision.

WARNING!

It is important that you do not exceed the maximum front

or rear GAWR. A dangerous driving condition can result

if either rating is exceeded. You could lose control of the

vehicle and have a collision.
