The other label is the Certification label, found on the rear edge of the
driver’s door. It tells you the gross weight capacity of your vehicle, called
the GVWR

weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. Never exceed the
GVWR
for your vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
either the front or rear axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load, you should spread it out. Don’t carry
more than
185 lbs. (84 kg) in your trunk.
A CAUTION:
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVVVR or the
maximum front and rear GAWRs. If
you do, parts on your
vehicle can break, or it can change the way your vehicle handles.
These could cause
you to lose control. Also, overloading can
shorten the life of your vehicle.

4.6L 32 Valve (DOHC) Northstar Engine
The engine is a 4.6 liter (27Y cu.in.) 903 V-8 featuring Dual Overhead
