to the drill. Insert two plastic grommets
provided. Install the license plate holder
using the two bolts (and washers) pro-
vided.
2. Mount the license plate using two M6-

WARNING
∙ It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area inside a ve-
hicle. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to
be seriously injured or killed.
∙ Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is
not equipped with seats and
seat belts.
∙ Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
TERMS
It is important to familiarize yourself
with the following terms before
loading your vehicle:
∙ Curb Weight (actual weight of your vehicle) - vehicle weight in-
cluding: standard and optional
equipment, fluids, emergency
tools, and spare tire assembly.
This weight does notinclude
passengers and cargo. ∙ GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) - curb
weight plus the combined weight
of passengers and cargo.
∙ GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rat- ing) - maximum total combined
weight of the unloaded vehicle,
passengers, luggage, hitch, trailer
tongue load and any other op-
tional equipment. This informa-
tion is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification
label.
∙ GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) - maximum weight (load) limit
specified for the front or rear axle.
This information is located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification
label.
∙ GCWR (Gross Combined Weight rating) - The maximum total
weight rating of the vehicle, pas-
sengers, cargo, and trailer. ∙ Vehicle Capacity Weight, Load
limit, Total load capacity - maxi-
mum total weight limit specified
of the load (passengers and
cargo) for the vehicle. This is the
maximum combined weight of
occupants and cargo that can be
loaded into the vehicle. If the ve-
hicle is used to tow a trailer, the
trailer tongue weight must be in-
cluded as part of the cargo load.
This information is located on the
Tire and Loading Information la-
bel.
∙ Cargo capacity - permissible weight of cargo, the subtracted
weight of occupants from the
load limit.
VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION
10-20Technical and consumer information

VEHICLE LOAD CAPACITY
Before driving a loaded vehicle, con-
firm that you do not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
or the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR) for your vehicle. Both the
GVWR and GAWR are located on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. certification label.
For additional information, refer to
“Measurement of weights” in this
section.
Do not exceed the load limit of your
vehicle shown as “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo” on
the Tire and Loading Information la-
bel. Do not exceed the number of
occupants shown as “Seating Ca-
pacity” on the Tire and Loading Infor-
mation label.
To get “the combined weight of oc-
cupants and cargo”, add the weight
of all occupants, then add the total
luggage weight. Examples are
shown in the following illustration.
Example
LTI2320
Technical and consumer information10-21

Steps for determining correct
load limit
1. Locate the statement “The com-bined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX
lbs. or XXX kg” 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 lbs. or XXX kg.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For ex-
ample, if the XXX amount equals
1,400 lbs. and there will be five
150 lbs. passengers in your ve-
hicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capac-
ity is 650 lbs. (1,400-750 (5 X 150) =
650 lbs.) or (640-340 (5 X 70) =
300 kg.) 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 deter-
mine how this reduces the avail-
able cargo and luggage load ca-
pacity of your vehicle.
Before driving a loaded vehicle, con-
firm that you do not exceed the
GVWR or the GAWR for your vehicle.
For additional information, refer to
“Measurement of weights” in this
section.
Also check tires for proper inflation
pressures. For additional informa-
tion, refer to the “Tire and Loading
Information label” in the “Do-it-
yourself ” section of this manual.
SECURING THE LOAD
For your convenience, tie down hooks (if so
equipped) are placed at each corner of the
truck box. These may be used to help se-
cure cargo loaded into the truck box.
WARNING
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding
or shif ting. Do not place cargo higher
than the seatbacks. In a sudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could
cause personal injury.
LTI0102
10-22Technical and consumer information

∙ Do not load your vehicle any heavierthan the GVWR or the maximum front
and rear GAWRs. If you do, parts of
your vehicle can break, tire damage
could occur, or it can change the way
your vehicle handles. This could result
in loss of control and cause personal
injury.
UTILI-TRACK® CHANNEL SYSTEM (if
so equipped)
1. Side channels
2. Header channel
3. Floor channels
WARNING
∙ Properly install and tighten the tie-down cleats into the Utili-track® chan-
nel system. Also, do not attach any
rope or straps directly to the channel.
Failure to properly install the tie-
down cleats or attaching ropes or
straps directly to the channel can
cause the cargo to become unse-
cured. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
∙ Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding
or shif ting. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
The Utili-track® channel system allows you
to move tie-down clamps in the bed to the
best location to secure a load.
The tie-down cleats must be installed so
the clamp is properly seated in the notches
in the rail. If the tie-down cleat is not seated
in the notches, it will not be flush with the
rail and cannot be properly tightened. The
bolt in the center of the cleat must be tight-
ened hand tight (20 – 40 in-lbs.)
LTI2082
Technical and consumer information10-23

Check the tightness of the tie-down cleat
periodically during a trip to make sure the
center bolt has not become loose.
Install the tie-down cleat as follows:1. Remove the side channels by sliding them out the back of the truck bed.
Properly store the side channels.
2. Loosen the center bolt completely.
3. Insert the cleat into the channel per-pendicular to the channel as shown.
Then rotate the cleat clockwise 90° and
slide it to the desired location.
4. Position the cleat so the nubs on thebottom fully seat into the channel de-
tents.

5. There should be no gap between thebottom of the cleat and the top of the
channel. Tighten the center bolt hand
tight (20-40 in-lbs.).
