Loading Points
1. Primary Load Points
2. Secondary Load Areas
3. GM Approved Accessory MountingPoints
Structural members (1) and (2) are included
in the pickup box design. Additional
accessories should use these load points.
Depending on the accessory design, use a
spacer under the accessory at the load
points to remove gap. The holes for GM
approved accessories (3) are not intended for

Truck-Camper Loading Information
A vehicle-specific Truck-Camper Loading
Information label is attached to the
inside of the vehicle's glove box. This
label indicates if a slide-in camper can
be carried, how much of a load the
vehicle can carry, and how to correctly
spread out the load. It will help to
match the right slide-in camper to the
vehicle.
Your dealer can help make a good
vehicle-camper match and help
determine the Cargo Weight
Rating (CWR).
When installing and loading a slide-in
camper, check the manufacturer's
instructions.
When carrying a slide-in camper, the
total cargo load of the vehicle is the
weight of the camper plus:
.Everything added to the camper after
it left the factory.
.Everything in the camper.
.All the people inside. The CWR is the maximum weight of the
load the vehicle can carry. It does not
include the weight of the people inside.
But, use about 68 kg (150 lb) for
each seat.
The total cargo load must not be more
than the vehicle's CWR.
Refer to the Truck-Camper Loading
Information label in the 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 in zone C for the
CWR. It is the point where the mass of
