On all NISSAN vehicles, the GVWR is shown on the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (F.M.V.S.S.) certification label located in the driver's-side door area. To avoid overloading the vehicle, be sure to include the trailer tongue/king pin load as a part of the cargo when determining how much weight can be safely carried inside the vehicle. The weight of the roof rack cargo should also be included. F.M.V.S.S. Certification Label MFD BY NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD DATE GVWR GAWR FR. WITH RIMS AT COLD SINGLE GAWR RR.

TIRES PSI TIRES PSI TYPE: TRUCK MODEL: COLOR TRIM 3B000 TRANS AXLE ENGINE GROSS AXLE WEIGHT (GAW) The Gross Axle Weight (GAW) is the maximum weight each axle (front and rear) is designed to safely carry. To determine the GAW, load the vehicle as you would for towing and attach the loaded trailer. At a public scale, with the loaded trailer attached, place only the tow vehicle front wheels on the scale to determine the actual front axle GAW. To obtain the rear axle GAW, place all four tow vehicle wheels on the scale. From that figure, subtract the front GAW and you will have the rear GAW amount. The GAW you come up with must not exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for your vehicle. On NISSAN vehicles, the GAWR for both axles is listed on the F.M.V.S.S. certification label. 2013 NISSAN Towing Guide 12
