For everyone else, the OP's truck HAS to have a weight sticker in it, driver side door jamb. Or at a minimum it came from the factory with one. Now it could have been removed. Is the vehicle a salvage title that got T boned, or does it appear re-painted?
Only logical, yet not probable reason to not have the sticker.
OK - you are actually right. It does have a yellow sticker (**** it, I am blind, my apologies!). It says "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed: 980KG OR 2161 LBS.". It also says "Seating capacity: total: 6, front:3, rear:3".
Does this mean that with my wife and I being the only passengers, I can add 4x150lbs = 600 lbs to the 2161 lbs number (for a total of 2761 lbs)?
Thanks!
