CALCULATING PAYLOAD
Tire and Loading Label Information
Example:
Payload is the combined weight of cargo
and passengers that your vehicle is
carrying. The maximum payload for your
vehicle appears on the Tire and Loading
label. The label is either on the B-pillar or
the edge of the driver door. Vehicles
exported outside the US and Canada may
not have a tire and loading label. Look for
“The combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX
lb” for maximum payload. The payload
listed on the Tire and Loading Information
label is the maximum payload for your
vehicle as built by the assembly plant. If
you install any additional equipment on
your vehicle, you must determine the new
payload. Subtract the weight of the
equipment from the payload listed on the
Tire and Loading label. When towing, trailer
tongue weight or king pin weight is also
part of payload.
CALCULATING THE LOAD
LIMIT
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 lb." on
your vehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding
in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from XXX kg or
XXX lb.
4. The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and luggage
load capacity. For example, if the “XXX”
amount equals 1,400 lb. and there will
be five 150 lb. passengers in your
vehicle, the amount of available cargo
and luggage load capacity is 650 lb.
(1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lb.)
5. Determine the combined weight of
luggage and cargo being loaded on the
vehicle. That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo and luggage
load capacity calculated in Step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer,
load from your trailer will be transferred
to your vehicle. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces the
available cargo and luggage load
capacity of your vehicle.
