WARNING
• It is extremely dangerous to
ride in a cargo area inside a ve-
hicle. In a collision, people rid-
ing 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 ve-
hicle 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 including:
standard and optional equipment,
fluids, emergency tools, and spare
tire assembly. This weight does
not include 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, cargo, hitch, trailer
tongue load and any other op-
tional equipment. This information
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 speci-
fied 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 - maximum to-
tal weight limit specified of the load
(passengers and cargo) for the ve-
hicle. This is the maximum com-
bined weight of occupants and
cargo that can be loaded into the
vehicle. If the vehicle is used to tow
a trailer, the trailer tongue weight
must be included as part of the
cargo load. This information is lo-
cated on the Tire and Loading In-
formation label.
VEHICLE LOADING INFORMATION
10-16Technical and consumer information

• Cargo capacity - permissibleweight of cargo, the subtracted
weight of occupants from the load
limit.
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, see “Mea-
surement of weights” (P. 10-25).
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
cargo weight. Examples are shown
in the following illustration.
Technical and consumer information10-17

Steps For Determining Correct
Load Limit
1. Locate the statement “The com-bined 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 ex-
ample, if the “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 (5 X 150) = 650 lbs.)

Example
10-18Technical and consumer information

5. Determine the combined weightof luggage and cargo being
loaded on the vehicle. That weight
may not safely exceed the avail-
able cargo and luggage load ca-
pacity calculated in step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be
transferred to your vehicle. Con-
sult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
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, see “Mea-
surement of weights” (P. 10-25).
Also check tires for proper inflation
pressures. For additional informa-
tion, see “Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label” (P. 8-34).
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 slid-
ing or shif ting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.
• Do not load your vehicle any heavier
than 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 re-
sult in loss of control and cause per-
sonal injury.

UTILI-TRACK® CHANNEL SYSTEM
(if so equipped)
1. Side channels
2. Header channel
WARNING
• Properly install and tighten the tie-
down cleats into the Utili-track®
channel 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 chan-
nel can cause the cargo to become
unsecured. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
• Properly secure all cargo with ropes
or straps to help prevent it from slid-
ing or shif ting. In a sudden stop or
collision, 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
tightened hand tight 20 – 40 in-lbs. (2.27 -
4.6 N·m). 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 perpen-dicular 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
detents.

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. (2.27 - 4.6 N·m).
