Cargo Mounting Considerations 4-5
Section 4: Cargo Mounting Considerations
• Low Risk Items — These items are soft in feel and pose a low risk of potential injury capability
in collisions. Examples are: a soft camera case, biohazard kit in plastic boxes, gloves, safety
rope, tow strap, traffic cones and sleeves, rain gear, riot gear (soft), emergency blankets,
bullet-resistant vests, tie straps, cloth tape, garment bags, first responder kit, Res-Q-Flo masks
(placed in garment bag), fuses (plastic container), briefcases, notebooks, spray bottles, helmets
and jumper cables.
Cargo Area Weight
The vehicle’s high-speed handling and curb height will become increasingly affected as weight is
added to the cargo area. The more weight that is placed in the cargo area, the more it will change
the ride and handling characteristics of the vehicle. Consider these factors when installing
equipment and placing items in the cargo area of the vehicle.
The vehicle certification (VC) label on the driver door lists a maximum load of 530 kg (1,170 lb)
(Expedition) or 793 kg (1,750 lb) (Expedition EL) (occupants + luggage).
