Curb Weight
The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the
total weight of the vehicle with all fluids,
including vehicle fuel, at full capacity condi-
tions, and with no occupants or cargo loaded
into the vehicle. The front and rear curb
weight values are determined by weighing
your vehicle on a commercial scale before
any occupants or cargo are added.
Loading
The actual total weight and the weight of the
front and rear of your vehicle at the ground
can best be determined by weighing it when
it is loaded and ready for operation. The entire vehicle should first be weighed on
a commercial scale to ensure that the GVWR
has not been exceeded. The weight on the
front and rear of the vehicle should then be
determined separately to be sure that the
load is properly distributed over the front and
rear axle. Weighing the vehicle may show
that the GAWR of either the front or rear
axles has been exceeded but the total load is
within the specified GVWR. If so, weight
must be shifted from front to rear or rear to
front as appropriate until the specified
weight limitations are met. Store the heavier
items down low and be sure that the weight
is distributed equally. Stow all loose items
securely before driving.Improper weight distributions can have an
adverse effect on the way your vehicle steers
and handles and the way the brakes operate.
TRAILER TOWING
Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings)
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.
