'05 4Runner_U (L/O 0409) -Capacity and distribution Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants. (Cargo capacity) = (Total load capacity) - (Total weight of occupants) STEPS FOR DETERMINING CORRECT LOAD LIMIT 1. Locate the statement "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX pounds" on your vehicle's placard. 2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. 3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds. 4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the "XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400-750 (5x150)=650 lbs). 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle. For details about trailer towing, see page 314. Cargo capacity Total load capacity EXAMPLE ON YOUR VEHICLE In case that 2 people with the combined weight of 166 kg (366 lb.) are riding in your vehicle with the total load capacity of 431 kg (950 lb.), the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity will be as follows: With 5 occupants: 431 kg - 166 kg = 265 kg. (950 lb. - 366 lb. = 584 lb.) With 7 occupants: 476 kg - 166 kg = 310 kg. (1050 lb. - 366 lb. = 684 lb.) 304 2005 4RUNNER from Sep. '04 Prod. (OM35843U)
