4. The resulting figure equals the

available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For
example, if the

‘‘XXX’’ amount

equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be
five 150 lb. passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity is
650 lbs.
(1,400

- 750 (5 ꭦ 150) = 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.
