[. . . ] These numbers are shown on the Safety Compliance Certification Label located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver's door. The total load on each axle must never exceed its GAWR. Exceeding the Safety Certification Label axle weight rating limits could result in substandard vehicle handling or performance, engine, transmission and/or structural damage, serious damage to the vehicle, loss of control and personal injury. Note: For trailer towing information refer to Trailer towing found in this chapter or the RV and Trailer Towing Guide provided by your dealership. GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) ­ is the Vehicle Curb Weight + cargo + passengers. 122 Tires, Wheels and Loading GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) ­ is the maximum allowable weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including all options, equipment, passengers and cargo). The GVWR is shown on the Safety Compliance Certification Label located on the B-Pillar or the edge of the driver's door. The GVW must never exceed the GVWR. Exceeding the Safety Certification Label vehicle weight rating limits could result in substandard vehicle handling or performance, engine, transmission and/or structural damage, serious damage to the vehicle, loss of control and personal injury. GCW (Gross Combined Weight) ­ is the weight of the loaded vehicle (GVW) plus the weight of the fully loaded trailer. GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) ­ is the maximum allowable weight of the vehicle and the loaded trailer ­ including all cargo and passengers ­ that the vehicle can handle without risking damage. (Important: The towing vehicle's braking system is rated for operation at GVWR, not at GCWR. ) Separate functional brakes should be used for safe control of towed vehicles and for trailers where the GCW of the towing vehicle plus the trailer exceed the GVWR of the towing vehicle. Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight ­ is the highest possible weight of a fully loaded trailer the vehicle can tow. It assumes a vehicle with only 123 Tires, Wheels and Loading mandatory options, no cargo (internal or external), a tongue load of 10­15% (conventional trailer) or king pin weight of 15­25% (fifth wheel trailer), and driver only (150 lb. Consult your dealership (or the RV and Trailer Towing Guide provided by your dealership) for more detailed information. Tongue Load or Fifth Wheel King Pin Weight ­ refers to the amount of the weight that a trailer pushes down on a trailer hitch. (2, 268 kg) conventional trailer, multiply 5, 000 by 0. 10 and 0. 15 to obtain a proper tongue load range of 500 to 750 lb. (5, 216 kg) fifth wheel trailer, multiply by 0. 15 and 0. 25 to obtain a proper king pin load range of 1, 725 to 2, 875 lb. (782 to 1, 304 kg) Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the certification label. Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the originals because they may lower the vehicle's GVWR and GAWR limitations. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the originals do not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations. Exceeding any vehicle weight rating limitation could result in serious damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury. Steps for determining the correct load limit: 1. Locate the statement "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs. " on your vehicle's placard. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs. [. . . ] The Certification label is located on the structure by the trailing edge of the driver's door or the edge of the driver's door. 240 Maintenance and Specifications Vehicle identification number (VIN) The vehicle identification number is attached to a metal tag and is located on the driver side instrument panel.
