2018 DODGE DURANGO towing capacity

Tire And Loading Information Placard
This placard tells you important information about the:
1. Number of people that can be carried in the vehicle.
2. Total weight your vehicle can carry.
3. Tire size designed for your vehicle.
4. Cold tire inflation pressures for the front, rear, and spare tires.
Loading
The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying
capacity of the tire on your vehicle. You will not exceed the tire’s load
carrying capacity if you adhere to the loading conditions, tire size, and cold
tire inflation pressures specified on the Tire and Loading Information
placard in “Vehicle Loading” in the “Starting And Operating” section of
your Owner ’s Manual.
NOTE:Under a maximum loaded vehicle condition, gross axle weight
ratings (GAWRs) for the front and rear axles must not be exceeded.
For further information on GAWRs, vehicle loading, and trailer towing, refer
to “Vehicle Loading” in the “Starting And Operating” section of your
Owner ’s Manual.
To determine the maximum loading conditions of your vehicle, locate the
statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never
exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on the Tire and Loading Information placard.

The combined weight of occupants, cargo/luggage and trailer tongue
weight (if applicable) should never exceed the weight referenced here.
Steps For Determining Correct Load Limit—
(1) Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s
placard.
(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs.
and there will be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount
of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750
(5x150) = 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being
loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will
be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how
this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your
vehicle.
Metric Example For Load Limit
For example, if “XXX” amount equals 635 kg and there will be five 68 kg
passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 295 kg (635-340 (5x68) = 295 kg) as shown in step 4.
NOTE:
•If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. The following table shows examples on
how to calculate total load, cargo/luggage, and towing capacities of
your vehicle with varying seating configurations and number and size
of occupants. This table is for illustration purposes only and may not
be accurate for the seating and load carry capacity of your vehicle.
•For the following example, the combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed 865 lbs (392 kg).

TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Tire failure can result in serious damage and/or personal injury. To
reduce the risk of tire failure we recommend the following:
•Maintain proper inflation pressure and do not use at under inflation or
over inflation. Pressure should be set at the level recommended by
vehicle manufacturer.
•Wheel alignment and balancing should be checked at regular intervals.
•Do not overload. The maximum load carrying capacity is molded on
the sidewall of the tire.
•Do not spin your tires excessively and avoid driving over curbs,
potholes, obstacles and edges of pavement.
•Never drive on smooth (bald) tires. By law, tires must be replaced
when 2/32of tread depth remained, as indicated by tread wear
indicator molded in the tread grooves.
•Check your tires frequently for any scrapes, cuts, foreign objects,
separations or bulges. If damage is found, do not attempt to dismount
a tire yourself. Change damaged tire with the spare and contact your
local authorized NEXEN TIRE dealer immediately.
•Do not drive in excess of speed limits allowed by law or the maximum
speed justified by driving conditions.
•To achieve proper even wear and gain maximum tread life, tire
rotation at regular intervals is required.
