vehicle may cause damage.
Repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do
not overload the vehicle.

how much cargo and installed
equipment your truck can carry. Using heavier suspension
components to get added
durability might not change
your weight ratings. Ask your

tools, packages, or anything
else —they go as fast as the
vehicle goes. If you have to stop

turn, or in a crash.
