loading

information

for

off-road driving in this

in

the Index.

Two-Tiered

Loading

By positioning four

2”

x

6”

wooden

planks

across

the

width

of

the

pickup

box,

you

can

create an

upper load platform. The planks

must

be

inserted

in

the pickup box depressions. The length

of

the

planks

must

allow

for

at least

3/4“

bearing surface on each end

of

the

plank.

When using this upper

load

platform,

be sure the

load

is

securely

tied

down

to

prevent it from shifting. The load’s center

of

gravity

should

be

positioned

in a zone over the rear axle. The zone is

located

in

the area between the

front

of

each fenderwell

and

the

rear

of

each

fenderwell.

The center of

gravity

height

must

not

extend above the

top

of

the

pickup

box

flareboard.

Any load that extends beyond

the

vehicle’s

taillamp area must

be

properly

marked according to local laws and

regulations.

Remember

not

to

exceed

the

Gross

Axle

Weight

Rating

(GAWR)

of

the

rear

axle. See “Loading Your

Vehicle”

in

the

Index.

Payload

The Payload

Capacity is shown

on

the CertificatiodTire label. This is

the

maximum load capacity

that your vehicle

can

carry.

Be

sure to include

the

weight

of

the

people

inside

as

part

of

your

load. If

you

added

any

accessories or equipment after your

vehicle

left

the

factory, remember to

subtract the

weight

of

these

things

from

the

payload.

Your

dealer

can

help

you

with

this.
