Driving your vehicle
VEHICLE  WEIGHT
This section will  guide you in  the proper
loading of  your  vehicle and/or  trailer, to
keep your loaded vehicle weight within its
design rating capability, with or  without a
trailer. Properly  loading your  vehicle will
provide  maximum  return of  the  vehicle
design performance. Before loading your
vehicle,  familiarize yourself  with the  fol-
lowing  terms for  determining  your vehi-
cle's  weight  ratings,  with  or   without  a
trailer,  from  the  vehicle's  specifications
and the certification label:
