Information on
Loading the Vehicle
Overloading
{Warning
Overloading can result in loss of
vehicle control and personal
injury or death, either by causing
component failures or by affecting
vehicle handling. It can also
shorten the service life of your
vehicle.
The components of your truck are
designed to provide satisfactory
service if the vehicle is not loaded in
excess of either the gross vehicle
weight rating (GVWR) or the
maximum front and rear gross axle
weight ratings (GAWRs). These
ratings are listed on the vehicle
identification number (VIN) plate,
which is located on the left side rear
pillar panel below the striker (single cab) or on the left center pillar panel
beside the shoulder seat belt anchor
(crew cab).
Gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the
weight of the originally equipped
vehicle and all items added to it
after it has left the factory. This
would include bodies, lift gates,
refrigeration systems, winches,
booms, etc., the driver and all
occupants, and the load the vehicle
is carrying. The GVW must not
exceed the GVWR. Also, gross
weight on each of the front and rear
axles must not exceed the front and
rear GAWRs respectively.
Your dealer can advise you of the
proper loading conditions for your
vehicle. Using selected heavier
suspension components for added
durability may not increase any of
the weight ratings shown on the VIN
and weight rating plate.

Exterior Care
Exterior Finish
The paint finish on your vehicle
provides beauty, depth of color,
gloss retention and durability.
While cleaning the vehicle, do not
grip the roof marker lights to prevent
damage or water leakage.
Washing
The best way to preserve your
vehicle's finish is to keep it clean by
washing it often.
Wash the vehicle in lukewarm or
cold water. Do not use hot water or
wash your vehicle in the direct rays
of the sun. Do not use strong soap
or chemical detergents. All cleaning
agents should be flushed promptly
from the surface and not allowed to
dry on the finish.
These vehicles are designed to
operate under normal environmental
conditions to withstand natural
elements. However, unusual conditions such as high-pressure
car washers may cause water to
enter inside the vehicle. If the
vehicle is operated with foreign
material adhering to the exterior,
this material may react chemically
with paint, resulting in staining,
discoloration, rusting or corrosion of
components. Also, the material may
become trapped within mechanical
components, adversely affecting
their functions or forming an
aerodynamic resistance. In the
following cases, therefore, the
vehicle must be washed and all
foreign matter removed.
.
When soot, iron powder, dead
bugs, bird droppings, tree sap or
oily matter from coal tar and
smoke has adhered to painted
surfaces.
. When the vehicle has been
driven in coastal areas.
. When the vehicle has been
driven on roads where road
chemicals have been applied.
. When a large amount of mud or
dirt has adhered to the exterior.
