Tires, Whe<strong>el</strong>s and Loading<br />

transport the cement to your home If you and your friend each weigh<br />

220 lb. (99 kg), the calculation would be: 1400 – (2 x 220) – (12 x 100) =<br />

1400 – 440 – 1200 = – 240 lb. No, you do not have enough cargo<br />

capacity to carry that much weight. In metric units, the calculation<br />

would be: 635 kg — (2 x 99 kg) — (12 x 45 kg) = 635 — 198 — 540<br />

= —103 kg. You will need to reduce the load weight by at least 240 lb.<br />

(104 kg). If you remove 3-100 lb. (45 kg) cement bags, then the load<br />

calculation would be:<br />

1400 – (2 x 220) – (9 x 100) = 1400 – 440 – 900 = 60 lb. Now you<br />

have the load capacity to transport the cement and your friend home.<br />

In metric units, the calculation would be: 635 kg — (2 x 99 kg) —<br />

(9 x 45 kg) = 635 — 198 — 405 = 32 kg.<br />

The above calculations also assume that the loads are positioned in your<br />

vehicle in a manner that does not overload the Front or the Rear Gross<br />

Axle Weight Rating specified for your vehicle on the Safety Compliance<br />

Certification Lab<strong>el</strong> found on the edge of the driver’s door.<br />

Special loading instructions for owners of pickup trucks and<br />

utility-type vehicles<br />

For important information regarding safe operation of this type<br />

of vehicle, see the Preparing to drive your vehicle section in<br />

the Driving chapter of this Owner’s Guide.<br />

Loaded vehicles may handle differently than unloaded vehicles.<br />

Extra precautions, such as slower speeds and increased stopping<br />

distance, should be taken when driving a heavily loaded vehicle.<br />

Your vehicle can haul more cargo and people than most passenger cars.<br />

Depending upon the type and placement of the load, hauling cargo and<br />

people may raise the center of gravity of the vehicle.<br />

Calculating the load your vehicle can carry/tow<br />

1. Use the appropriate maximum GCWR chart (in the Trailer towing<br />

section in this chapter) for your type of engine and rear axle ratio.<br />

2. Weigh your vehicle without cargo. To obtain correct weights, take your<br />

vehicle to a shipping company or an inspection station for trucks.<br />

3. Subtract your loaded weight from the maximum GCWR in the chart.<br />

This is the maximum trailer weight your vehicle can tow. It must be<br />

b<strong>el</strong>ow the maximum trailer weight shown in the chart.<br />
