Steps f or Determining Correct Load
Limit:
The maximum load f or your vehicle
is 850 lbs/385 kg (U.S.), 870 lbs/395
kg (Canada). This f igure includes
the total weight of all occupants,
cargo, and accessories. Locate the statement, ‘‘the
combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed 850
lbs/385 kg (U.S.), 870 lbs/395 kg
(Canada)’’ on your vehicle’s
placard. [The placard is on the
driver’s doorjamb.]
Determine the combined weight
of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in the vehicle.
[Five is seating capacity of your
vehicle.]
Subtract the combined weight of
the driver and passengers f rom
850 lbs/385 kg (U.S.), 870 lbs/395
kg (Canada).
The resulting f igure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity.
For example, if the amount equals850 lbs and there will be f ive 150 lb
passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 100 lbs.
(850 750 (5 150) = 100 lbs.)
Determine the combined weight
of luggage and cargo being loaded
on the vehicle. That weight may
not saf ely exceed the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
calculated in step 4.
In addition, the total weight of the
vehicle, all occupants, accessories
cargo must not exceed the gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or the
gross axle weight rating (GAWR).
