The information in this section of the
supplement is for those who intend
to install additional equipment to the
police vehicle after it has left the
factory, and for those who will be
driving and loading the vehicle with
passengers and/or cargo.Two labels on your vehicle show
how much weight it was designed to
carry, the Tire and Loading
Information label and the
Certification/Tire label. These labels
are attached to your vehicle and
give you the maximum load
capacity, the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) and the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR) for your
vehicle. See
“Vehicle Load Limits” in
your owner manual Index for
additional loading information.
