WARNING   WARNING:  Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the Safety Compliance Certification Label.
WARNING   WARNING:  Do not use replacement tires with lower load carrying capacities than the original tires because they may lower the vehicle's GVWR and GAWR limitations. Replacement tires with a higher limit than the originals do not increase the GVWR and GAWR limitations.
WARNING   WARNING:  Exceeding any vehicle weight rating limitation could result in serious damage to the vehicle and/or personal injury.

Every vehicle manufactured by Ford Motor Company is supplied with information on the Safety Compliance Certification Label, located on either the B-pillar or the driver’s door edge, listing the maximum loading for the vehicle (GVWR), and its axle systems (GAWR) at the tire to ground interface.
Example only:
Safety Certification Label
Under no circumstances should your vehicle be loaded in excess of the GVWR or GAWR. It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that neither the axle capacities, spring capacities, tire capacities nor the vehicle rated GVWR is exceeded.
Unloaded or Lightly Loaded Vehicles
WARNING   WARNING:  When operating empty or lightly loaded, sudden or hard braking may induce wheel lockup with loss of vehicle control and the possibility of accident and serious injury, especially on wet or slippery road surfaces.

The braking system has been designed to safely stop your vehicle when fully loaded to its GVWR.
