WARNING

• Incorrect loading can create a dangerous driving condition.

  If the load is positioned too far toward the rear of the Nissan Frontier, vehicle handling and stability may be affected. If the load is placed too far forward, the front axle may be overloaded.

• Overloading or improper weight distribution can negatively affect steering response, braking distance, vehicle performance, and overall control, which may lead to an accident.

Vehicle load weight capacity

The vehicle payload weight capacity shown on the Tire and Loading Information label identifies the maximum total weight that your Nissan Frontier is designed to carry. This includes passengers, optional equipment such as air conditioning or a trailer hitch, and all cargo placed in or on the vehicle.

Before driving the Nissan Frontier with any load, confirm that the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) are not exceeded.

Also check all tires for proper inflation pressure before driving, especially when the vehicle is carrying cargo or additional equipment.
