The following table shows examples of how to calculate total and load capacities with varying seating configurations and different numbers and sizes of occupants. The following examples use a maximum load of 1500 lbs (680 kg). This is for illustration purposes only. Make sure you are using the actual load limit for your vehicle stated on your vehicle's Tire and Loading Information placard.

The higher the weight of all the occupants, the smaller the maximum load for luggage.

Step 1

  Example1 Example 2
Combined maximum weight of occupants and load (data from the Tire and Loading Information placard) 1500 lbs (680 kg) 1500 lbs (680 kg)

Step 2
