The CertificatiodTirelabel also tells you the maximum weights for the front and rear axles, called Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). To find out the actual loads onyour front and rear axles, you need to go to a weigh station and weigh your vehicle. Your dealer can help you with this. Be sure to spread out your load equally on both sides of the centerline. Similar appearing vehicles may have different GVWR'sLPayloads. Please note the Certificatioflire label of your truck or consult your dealer for additional details. Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for either the front or rear axle. And, if you do have a heavy load, you should spread it out. Using heavier suspension components to get added durability might not change your weight ratings. Ask your dealer tohelp you load your vehicle the right way. NOTICE: Your warranty does not cover parts components that fail or because of overloading. If you put things inside your vehicle - like suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else - they will go as fast as the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or turn quickly, or if there is a crash, they'll keep going. 4-37
