When the truck is used to carry a slide-in camper,

the total cargo load of the truck consists of the

camper manufacturer’s weight figure, plus:

● the weight of installed additional camper

equipment not included in the camper

manufacturer’s weight figure,

● the weight of camper cargo,
● and the weight of occupants in the camper.

The total cargo load should not exceed the

truck’s pay load weight rating and the camper’s

center of gravity should fall within the truck’s

recommended center of gravity location when

installed.

WARNING

Overloading or improper loading can ad-

versely affect vehicle handling, braking

and performance and may lead to

accidents.

PAYLOAD WEIGHT CAPACITY

The vehicle payload weight capacity shown on

the Tire and Loading Information label, see “Tire

and Loading Information label” in this section,

indicates the maximum total weight of passen-

gers, optional equipment (air conditioning, trailer

hitch, etc) and cargo that your vehicle is designed

to carry.
Before driving a loaded vehicle, confirm that you

do not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

(GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating

(GAWR) for your vehicle. See ’’Vehicle Loading

Information’’ earlier in this section for details.
Also check tires for proper inflation pressures.

See the Tire and Loading Information label.

MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHTS

Secure loose items to prevent weight

shifts that could affect the balance of your

vehicle. When the vehicle is loaded, drive

to a scale and weigh the front and the rear

wheels separately to determine axle

loads. Individual axle loads should not ex-

ceed either of the gross axle weight rat-

ings (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. If

weight ratings are exceeded, move or re-

move items to bring all weights below the

ratings.
