Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

WARNING
Exceeding the gross vehicle weight rating of your vehicle can reduce stability and handling and could cause loss of control. NEVER exceed the GVWR of your vehicle.

The maximum payload capacity of your vehicle is the maximum weight you may add to your vehicle without exceeding the GVWR. This capacity is determined by calculating the difference between your vehicle’s GVWR and wet weight.

Refer to the specification section of this manual or the Manufacturer’s Label on the vehicle for model-specific information.

When determining the weight, you will be adding to your vehicle, and to ensure you do not exceed the maximum payload capacity, include the following:

  • operator body weight

  • passenger body weight

  • weight of all occupants’ apparel and items in or on apparel

  • weight of any options or accessories and their contents

  • weight of any additional cargo on the vehicle
