Tires, Wheels and Loading The following gives you a few examples on how to calculate the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity: • An example for your vehicle with 1400 lb. (636 kg) of cargo and luggage capacity. You decide to go golfing. You and your friends average 220 lb. (100 kg) each and the golf bags weigh approximately 30 lb. (14 kg) each. Is there enough load capacity to carry you, 4 of your friends and all the golf bags? The calculation would be: 1400 - (5 x 220) - (5 x 30) = 1400 - 1100 - 150 = 150 lb. Metric conversion; 636 kg - (5 x 100) - (5 x 14) = 636 - 570 = 66 kg. Yes, you have enough load capacity in your vehicle to transport 4 of your friends and golf bags. • Another example for your vehicle with 1400 lb. (636 kg) of cargo and luggage capacity. You and one of your friends decide to pick up cement from the local home improvement store to finish that patio you have been planning for the past 2 years. Measuring the inside of the vehicle with the rear seat folded down, you have room for 12-100 lb. (45 kg) bags of cement. Do you have enough load capacity to transport the cement to your home? If you and your friend each weighed 220 lb. (100 kg), the calculation would be: 1400 - (2 x 220) - (12 x 100) = 1400 - 440 - 1200 = - 240 lb. Metric conversion; 636 kg - (2 x 100) - (12 x 45) = 636 - 200 - 540 = -104 kg. No, you do not have enough cargo capacity to carry that much weight. You will need to reduce the load weight by at least 240 lb. (104 kg). If you remove 3-100 lb. (45 kg) cement bags, then the load calculation would be: 1400 - (2 x 220) - (9 x 100) = 1400 - 440 - 900 = 60 lb. Metric conversion; 636 kg - (2 x 100) - (9 x 45) = 636 - 200 - 405 = 31 kg. Now you have the load capacity to transport the cement and your friend home. The above calculations also assume that the loads are positioned in your vehicle in a manner that does not overload the Front or the Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating specified for your vehicle on the Certification label found on the driver's door. TRAILER TOWING Your vehicle is not equipped to tow. No towing packages are available through Ford or Lincoln/Mercury dealers. RECREATIONAL TOWING (ALL WHEELS ON THE GROUND) Recreational towing is not approved for this vehicle. 94 2006 GT (gto) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA_English (fus)

The following gives you a few examples on how to calculate the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity:
•
An example for your vehicle with 1400 lb. (636 kg) of cargo and
luggage capacity. You decide to go golfing. You and your friends
average 220 lb. (100 kg) each and the golf bags weigh approximately
30 lb. (14 kg) each. Is there enough load capacity to carry you, 4 of
your friends and all the golf bags? The calculation would be: 1400 – (5
x 220) – (5 x 30) = 1400 – 1100 – 150 = 150 lb. Metric conversion;
636 kg – (5 x 100) – (5 x 14) = 636 – 570 = 66 kg. Yes, you have
enough load capacity in your vehicle to transport 4 of your friends and
golf bags.
•
Another example for your vehicle with 1400 lb. (636 kg) of cargo and
luggage capacity. You and one of your friends decide to pick up
cement from the local home improvement store to finish that patio
you have been planning for the past 2 years. Measuring the inside of
the vehicle with the rear seat folded down, you have room for 12-100
lb. (45 kg) bags of cement. Do you have enough load capacity to
transport the cement to your home? If you and your friend each
weighed 220 lb. (100 kg), the calculation would be: 1400 – (2 x 220) –
(12 x 100) = 1400 – 440 – 1200 = – 240 lb. Metric conversion; 636 kg
– (2 x 100) – (12 x 45) = 636 – 200 – 540 = –104 kg. No, you do not
have enough cargo capacity to carry that much weight. You will need
to reduce the load weight by at least 240 lb. (104 kg). If you remove
3-100 lb. (45 kg) cement bags, then the load calculation would be:
1400 – (2 x 220) – (9 x 100) = 1400 – 440 – 900 = 60 lb. Metric
conversion; 636 kg – (2 x 100) – (9 x 45) = 636 – 200 – 405 = 31 kg.
Now you have the load capacity to transport the cement and your friend
home.
The above calculations also assume that the loads are positioned in your
vehicle in a manner that does not overload the Front or the Rear Gross
Axle Weight Rating specified for your vehicle on the Certification label
found on the driver’s door.
