The Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) is the maximum
weight of the load your vehicle can carry. It doesn’t
include the weight
of the people inside. But, you can
figure about
150 lbs. (68 kg) for each seat.
The total cargo load must not be more than your
vehicle’s CWR.
Refer
to the Truck Camper Loading Information label
in glove
box for dimensions A and B as shown in the
following illustration.
Use the rear edge of the load
floor for measurement
purposes. The recommended location for the cargo center
of gravity is at point
C for the CWR. It is the point where
the mass
of a body is concentrated and, if suspended at
that point, would balance the front and rear. Here
is an example of proper truck and camper match:
A. Camper
Center of Gravity
B. Recommended Center of Gravity Location Zone
The camper’s center
of gravity should fall within the
center
of gravity zone for your vehicle’s cargo load.
You must weigh any accessories or other equipment that
you add to your vehicle. Then, subtract this extra weight
from
the CWR. This extra weight may shorten the
center of gravity zone of your vehicle. Your dealer can
help you with this.
