2003 Ford Taurus Owners Manual

Driving
GAWR(GrossAxleWeightRating):      Carrying  capacity for each axle
system. The GAWR  is specific to  each vehicle and is  listed on the
Safety Certification Label  on the drivers  door pillar.
GCW(GrossCombinedWeight):     The combined  weight of the
towing vehicle (including  occupants and cargo)  and the loaded trailer.
GCWR(GrossCombinedWeightRating):      Maximum  allowable
combined weight of  towing vehicle (including  occupants and cargo)
and the loaded  trailer.
MaximumTrailerWeightRating:     Maximum weight  of a trailer the
vehicle is permitted  to tow. The  maximum trailer weight rating  is
determined by subtracting  the vehicle curb  weight for each
engine/transmission combination, any  required option weight  for trailer
towing and the  weight of the  driver from the GCWR  for the towing
vehicle.
MaximumTrailerWeight:    Maximum weight of  a trailer the loaded
vehicle (including occupants  and cargo) is  permitted to tow. It  is
determined by subtracting  the weight of  the loaded trailer towing
vehicle from the  GCWR for the  towing vehicle.
TrailerWeightRange:    Specified range of  trailer weight from zero  to
the maximum trailer  weight rating.
Remember to figure  in the tongue  load of your loaded  trailer when
figuring the total  weight.
The Safety Certification  Label, located on  the drivers door pillar,  lists
vehicle weight rating  limitations. Before adding  any additional equipment,
refer to these  limitations.
Always ensure that  the weight of  occupants, cargo and equipment  is
within the weight  limitations, including both  gross vehicle weight and
front and rear  gross axle weight  rating limits.
Note: Do not  exceed the GVWR  or the GAWR specified  on the
certification label.
Exceeding any vehicle  weight rating limitation  could result in
serious damage to  the vehicle, loss  of vehicle control, vehicle
rollover, and/or personal  injury.
Do not use  replacement tires with  lower load carrying capacities  than the
originals because they  may lower the  vehicles GVWR and GAWR
limitations. Replacement tires  with a higher  limit than the originals  do
not increase the  GVWR and GAWR  limitations.
