Restricciones de los vehiculos que pueden importarse temporalmente
Restrictions on vehicles that may be temporarily imported:
Vehiculos que tengan una capacidad de carga maxima de hasta tres y media toneladas de peso (3 y ½ toneladas que equivalen a 7716.17 libras)
Vehicles having a maximum load capacity of up to three and a half tonnes of weight (3 and 1/2 tonnes equivalent to 7716.17 pounds).
But here we can find other wording...............

Under REGULATIONS scrolling down to 579 gets to this – which may or may not mean anything……….. seems they use the word “carga” to means “Load whose weight added to the vehicle weight” but I have no idea. Far too many laws. I have no idea what it might mean. To me “carga” is the weight loaded into the bed of the pickup.
Also this – “The maximum weight of the load that a vehicle can transport in safety conditions and for which it was designed by the manufacturer or rebuilder.” Here they say this is what the manufacturer says the vehicle is capable of – “capacity”).
1. Vehicles related to weight:
It is important to note that Article 158 of the Regulations of the Customs Layout specifies that the restriction on the maximum capacity of three and a half tons of vehicles, is for foreigners who wish to carry out the temporary importation procedure of their vehicle, noting that this legal provision does not apply to Mexicans residing abroad, as well as to those who prove to be working abroad for a year or more.
“Sólo se podrá efectuar la importación temporal de vehículos que tengan una capacidad máxima (gross vehicle weight rating) de hasta tres y media toneladas de peso (3.5 toneladas que equivalen a 7716.17 libras), de acuerdo a la capacidad de carga, conforme a las especificaciones técnicas del fabricante.”
"Temporary importation of vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of up to three and a half tonnes of weight (3,5 tonnes equivalent to 7716.17 pounds) may only be carried out according to the load capacity, in accordance with the manufacturer's technical specifications. "
En razón de lo anterior, en los casos en que el importador presente un CERTIFICADO DE REGISTRO VEHICULAR con una clasificación de peso bruto del vehículo (gross vehicle weight rating) de más de las 7716.17 libras, el importador deberá demostrar o evidenciar que la puerta lateral del vehículo ostente la placa de características con el número de identificación (VIN) y el peso máximo autorizado, a fin de confirmar que se trata de un peso menor.
For this reason, in cases where the importer presents a VEHICLE REGISTRY CERTIFICATE with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 7716.17 pounds, the importer must demonstrate or evidence that the side door of the vehicle bear the nameplate with the identification number (VIN) and the maximum authorized weight, in order to confirm that it is a smaller weight.
