Refer to your vehicle’s tire and
loading information label for
specific information about your
vehicle’s capacity weight
and seating positions.
The combined weight of the
driver, passengers, and cargo
should never exceed your
vehicle’s capacity weight.
Certification/Tire Label
A vehicle specific Certification/
Tire label is attached to the
rear edge of the driver’s door.
The label shows the gross
weight capacity of your vehicle.
This is called the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
The GVWR includes the
weight of the vehicle, all
occupants, fuel, and cargo.
The Certification/Tire label also
tells you the maximum
weights for the front and rear
axles, called the 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/retailer can help you with
this. Be sure to spread out
your load equally on both sides
of the centerline.
