Tires, Wheels and Loading

the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400±750 (5 x 150) = 650 lb.). In metric units (635±340 (5 x 68) =

295 kg.)

5.Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.

6.If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

The following gives you a few examples on how to calculate the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity:

Another example for your vehicle with 1400 lb. (635 kg) of cargo and luggage capacity. You decide to go golfing. Is there enough load capacity to carry you, 4 of your friends and all the golf bags? You and four friends average 220 lb. (99 kg) each and the golf bags weigh approximately 30 lb. (13.5 kg) each. The calculation would be: 1400 ± (5 x 220) ± (5 x 30) = 1400 ± 1100 ± 150 = 150 lb. Yes, you have enough load capacity in your vehicle to transport four friends and your golf bags. In metric units, the calculation would be: 635 kg Ð (5 x 99 kg) Ð (5 x 13.5 kg) = 635 Ð 495 Ð 67.5 = 72.5 kg.

A final example for your vehicle with 1400 lb. (635 kg) of cargo and luggage capacity. You and one of your friends decide to pick up cement from the local home improvement store to finish that patio you have been planning for the past 2 years. Measuring the inside of the vehicle with the rear seat folded down, you have room for 12-100 lb. (45 kg) bags of cement. Do you have enough load capacity to transport the cement to your home? If you and your friend each weigh 220 lb. (99 kg), the calculation would be: 1400 ± (2 x 220) ± (12 x 100) = 1400 ± 440 ± 1200 = ± 240 lb. No, you do not have enough cargo capacity to carry that much weight. In metric units, the calculation would be: 635 kg Ð (2 x 99 kg) Ð (12 x 45 kg) = 635 Ð 198 Ð 540 = Ð103 kg. You will need to reduce the load weight by at least 240 lb. (104 kg). If you remove 3-100 lb. (45 kg) cement bags, then the load calculation would be:

1400 ± (2 x 220) ± (9 x 100) = 1400 ± 440 ± 900 = 60 lb. Now you have the load capacity to transport the cement and your friend home. . In metric units, the calculation would be: 635 kg Ð (2 x 99 kg) Ð (9 x 45 kg) = 635 Ð 198 Ð 405 = 32 kg.

The above calculations also assume that the loads are positioned in your vehicle in a manner that does not overload the Front or the Rear Gross
