VEHICLE LOADING

Certification Label

As required by National Highway Traffic Safety Admin-

istration regulations, your vehicle has a certification label

affixed to the driver’s side door or B-Pillar.

This label contains the month and year of manufacture,

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), Gross Axle Weight

Rating (GAWR) front and rear, and Vehicle Identification

Number (VIN). A Month-Day-Hour (MDH) number is

included on this label and indicates the month, day, and

hour of manufacture. The bar code that appears on the

bottom of the label is your VIN.

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

The GVWR is the total permissible weight of your vehicle

including driver, passengers, vehicle, options, trailer

tongue weight, and cargo. The label also specifies maxi-

mum capacities of front and rear axle systems (GAWR).

Total load must be limited, so GVWR, and front and rear

GAWR are not exceeded.

Payload

The payload of a vehicle is defined as the allowable load

weight a truck or any given vehicle can carry, including

the weight of the driver, all passengers, options and

cargo.

Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)

The GAWR is the maximum permissible load on the front

and rear axles. The load must be distributed in the cargo

area so that the GAWR of each axle is not exceeded.

Each axle’s GAWR is determined by the components in

the system with the lowest load carrying capacity (axle,

springs, tires, or wheels). Heavier axles or suspension
