At one time, the amount of weight carrying capacity of your vehicle was not much of an issue. However, after many accidents and injuries, the government stepped into the fray by issuing regulations on how you get your information about the weight you are carrying. The legislation was enacted to make it easier for you to know your weight carrying limitations.
Since September of 2004, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has used its authority to require that all car manufacturers inform the customer of the weight carrying a restriction on the doorjamb on the tire label section. When you are looking to purchase an SUV, check out this vital information when making your comparisons. With that information in mind and knowing what you plan to do with the vehicle, you can make an intelligent decision on your purchase.
