You must weigh any accessories, trailer hitches or other
equipment you add to your vehicle. Then, subtract this
extra weight from the CWR. This extra weight may
shorten the center of gravity zone for your vehicle.
Your dealer can help you with this.
Trailer Recommendations
You must subtract your hitch load from the CWR for
your vehicle. Weigh your vehicle with your trailer
attached, so that you won’t go over the GVWR
or the GAWR.
If your slide-in camper and its load weigh less than the
CWR, the center of gravity zone for your vehicle may
be larger.
You’ll get the best performance if you spread out the
weight of your load the right way, and if you choose the
correct hitch and trailer brakes.
Your dealer can help you make a good vehicle-camper
match. He’ll also help you determine your CWR.
For more information, see “Towing a Trailer” later in
this section.
Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that could
affect the balance of your vehicle. When the truck camper
is loaded, drive to a scale and weigh on the front and on
the rear wheels separately to determine axle loads.
Individual axle loads should not exceed either of the Gross
Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR). The total of the axle loads
should not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR). These ratings are given on the vehicle
Pickup Conversion to Chassis Cab
General Motors is aware that some vehicle owners may
consider having the pickup box removed and a
commercial or recreational body installed. However, we
recommend that conversions of this type not be done to
pickups. Owners should be aware that, as manufactured,
there are differences between a chassis cab and a pickup
with the box removed which may affect vehicle safety.
For specific information on this pickup, contact the

certification label that is located on the rear of the
passenger’s door. If weight ratings are exceeded, move or
remove items to bring all weights below the ratings.
If you want more information on curb weights, cargo
weights, cargo weight rating and the correct center of
gravity zone for your vehicle, your dealer can help you.
Just ask for a copy of “Consumer Information,

dealership’s direct mail gets into consumers’ homes as quickly as possible.
I typically come up with some fairly wild ideas for my cars and Troy by no means says no.
