The total cargo load should not exceed the truck's cargo weight rating and the camper's center of gravity should fall within the truck's recommended center of gravity zone when installed. Gross axle weight rating Gross vehicle weight rating LS90005 Front GAWR Rear GAWR LS90007 Not exceed GVWR CAUTION Be careful-overloading can cause dangerous braking and handling problems, and can damage your vehicle and its tires. Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that could affect the balance of your vehicle. When the truck camper is loaded, drive to a scale and weigh on the front and on the rear wheels separately to determine axle loads. Individual axle loads should not exceed either of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR). The total of the axle loads should not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). These ratings are given on the vehicle certification label which is located on the door latch post on the left side of the vehicle. See "Your Toyota's identification" on page 284 in Section 2 for the Certification Label location. If weight ratings are exceeded, move or remove items to bring all weights below the ratings.
