13-10 Consumer information and Reporting safety defects on the vehicle label with the statement "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 408 kg or 900 lbs". For example, the vehicle has one occupant weighing 165 lbs (75 kg) plus cargo weighing 375 lbs (170 kg). In addition, the vehicle is fitted with a trailer hitch weighing 22 lbs (10 kg), to which is attached a trailer weighing 1,764 lbs (800 kg). 10% of the trailer weight is applied to the trailer tongue (i.e. Tongue load = 176 lbs (80 kg)). 1. Calculate the total weight. the vehicle for the child to use, the calculations are as follows: 1. Calculate the total weight. 3. The result of step 2 shows that a further 162 lbs (73 kg) of cargo can be carried. Example 2B Total weight = 165 lbs (75 kg) + 143 lbs (65 kg) (Occupant) + 40 lbs (18 kg) (Occupant) + 11 lbs (5 kg) + 375 lbs (170 kg) (Child restraint) (Cargo) + 22 lbs (10 kg) + 176 lbs (80 kg) (Trailer hitch) (Tongue load) = 932 lbs (423 kg) 2. Calculate the available load capacity. Total weight = 165 lbs (75 kg) + 375 lbs (170 kg) (Occupant) (Cargo) + 22 lbs (10 kg) + 176 lbs (80 kg) (Tongue load) (Trailer hitch) = 738 lbs (335 kg) 2. Calculate the available load capacity.
