Steps For Determining Correct Load Limit
- Locate the statement "The combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed XXX lbs or
XXX kg" on your vehicle's placard.
- Determine the combined weight of the driver and
passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
- Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers
from XXX lbs or XXX kg.
- The resulting figure equals the available amount of
cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if
"XXX" amount equals 1,400 lbs (635 kg) and there will
be five 150 lb (68 kg) passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity
is 650 lbs (294 kg) (since 5 x 150 lbs (68 kg) = 750 lbs
(340 kg), and 1400 lbs (635 kg) - 750 lbs (340 kg) =
650 lbs [294 kg]).
- 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.
NOTE:
- If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your
trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. The following
table shows examples on how to calculate total
load, cargo/luggage, and towing capacities of your
vehicle with varying seating configurations and number
and size of occupants. This table is for illustration
purposes only and may not be accurate for the seating
and load carry capacity of your vehicle.
- For the following example, the combined weight of
occupants and cargo should never exceed 865 lbs
(392 kg).

WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading
can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and
increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the
recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never
overload them. |
