Two labels on your vehicle show how much weight it may properly carry.The Tire-Loading Information label found on the rear edge of the driver's door tells you the proper size, speed rating and recommended inflation. It also gives you important information about the number of people that can be in your vehicle and the total weight that you can carry.This weight is called Vehicle Capacity Weight and includes the weight of all occupants, cargo, and all nonfactory-installed options. The other label is the Certification label, found on the rear edge of the driver's door. It tells you the gross weight capacity of your vehicle, called the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). TheGVWR includes the weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. Never exceed the GVWR for your vehicle, or the GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating) for either the front or rear axle. And, if you do have a heavy load, you should spread it out. Don't carry more than 100 pounds (45 kg) in your rear area.
