(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 detemine how this
reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

In addition, the total weight of the vehicle, all occupants, accessories,

cargo, and trailer tongue load must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight

Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Both are on a

label on the driver's doorjamb.
