the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) for either the front or
rear axle.
And, if you do have a heavy load, you
should spread it out. Don't carry more

If
you put things inside your vehicle
-
like suitcases, tools, packages, or
anything else
-
they will go as fast as
the vehicle goes. If you have to stop or
turn quicltly, or
if
there is
a
crash,
they'll keep going.
