CAUTION!

Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR
or the maximum front and rear GAWR. If you do,
parts on your vehicle can break, or it can change the
way your vehicle handles. This could cause you to
lose control. Also overloading can shorten the life of
your vehicle.

An EXAMPLE of a loaded vehicle is shown in the
following chart. Note that neither GVWR nor GAWR
capabilities are exceeded. Overloading can cause poten-
tial safety hazards and shorten service life.

NOTE:

The weights shown in this chart are not

necessarily the weights for your vehicle. Also, the
amount of load added to both the front and rear axles

can be computed after the vehicle has been weighed
both in its

؆curb weight؆ condition, and in its ؆loaded

and ready for operation

؆ condition.

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) 6500 LBS.
