Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that could
affect the balance of your vehicle. When the
truck-camper is loaded, drive to a scale and weigh the
front and the rear wheels separately to determine
axle loads. Individual axle loads should not exceed
either of the GAWRs. The total of the front and rear axle
loads should not exceed your vehicle’s GVWR. These
ratings are given on the vehicle certification label
attached to the rear edge of the driver’s door. See
“Certification/Tire Label” under Loading Your Vehicle on
page 4-48. If weight ratings are exceeded, move or
remove items to bring all weights below the ratings.
When you install and load your slide-in camper, check
the manufacturer’s instructions.
If you want more information on curb weights, cargo
weights, Cargo Weight Rating and the correct center of
gravity zone for your vehicle, your dealer can help
you. Just ask for a copy of “Consumer Information,
Truck-Camper Loading.”
Pickup Conversion to Chassis Cab
General Motors is aware that some vehicle owners may
consider having the pickup box removed and a
commercial or recreational body installed. Before you do
so, first contact GM Customer Assistance for information
on such conversions specific to this vehicle. Owners
should be aware that, as manufactured, there are
differences between a chassis cab and a pickup with
the box removed which may affect vehicle safety.
The components necessary to adapt a pickup to permit
its safe use with a specialized body should be
installed by a body builder in accordance with the
information available from GM Customer Assistance.
See Customer Assistance Offices on page 7-4.
