"Load Carrying Capacity Reduced" sticker in door jam?

Half a tank of gas

 

It's a lawyer thing. Options tested - options delivered = actual capacity. Some lawyers had to earn their paycheck and came up with that sticker. No offense to any lawyers here, except ones that chase a 37 pound difference and cost the rest of us money.

 

I ripped the running boards and the sticker off. Sold the boards for $200 on CL.

 

Did you give them the sticker with the running boards

 

No. It was in pieces by the time I got it off.

 

This one came in today.

 

1 pound. Really? I hate lawyers. At least most of them.

 

Floor mats.

 

Since it says "0 kg", just do all your weights in METRIC.

 

I have something very similar on my 2012 Baja. Something about wheels and tires reducing the capacity by 4 lbs. I left it on there cause its funny as hell imo

 

The really funny thing about this is that there is an ENORMOUS margin engineered into it. For real you could "overload" it by 1000 pounds before you hit the technical limit. Not to be taken as advocating that you ignore the printed limits... just saying. Nobody would engineer something that will suddenly collapse if you overload it by 1 oz.

 

They all have these. My wife's Prius and current RAV4 had/have them too.

Corporations have to protect themselves from every conceivable direction.

 

Right! I find it hilarious that we have some many variables that will affect a vehicles payload (weight of occupants being one) that we have people specifically in charge of making these stickers and printing various weight changes for a little as 1lb. We should make another 1lb one that you can put on the door jam after you ate a big lunch

 

So, mine has a sticker in the door for 17 pounds I believe. But in the past 6 months, I've lost about 25 pounds. Can I cross out the 17 and write in +8? LOL

 

Yep... they're basically trying to present such tight tolerances (from a legal point of view) that if there is any CHANCE that you are even just 1 pound over the printed limit, they're not responsible.

 

"due to modifications of this driver, the payload capacity of this vehicle has increased by 8lbs"

 

Nope, because you are part of the payload, not part of the car.
You are no different than a box of bricks.

 

I didn't know my wife was a members on here too...Jes, is this you?

 

If I set my balls on the ground instead of the floorboard, my rigs load carrying capacity goes up by 23 lbs.

Just sayin'

 

Are you an integrated component of the truck? PJT of Torg?
