Q: What is front axle reserve capacity, and how do
I calculate it?
A: Front axle reserve capacity is the difference
between your front GAWR and the front axle weight
of your truck with full fuel and passengers.
Basically, it is the amount of weight you can add to
your front axle before reaching your front GAWR.
The front axle reserve capacity for your vehicle can be
found in the lower right corner of the Certification/Tire
label, as shown.
In order to calculate the amount of weight any front
accessory, such as a snow plow, is adding to the front
axle, use the following formula:
(W x (A + W.B.)) /W.B.= Weight the accessory is adding
to the front axle.
Where:
W = Weight of added accessory
A = Distance that the accessory is in front of the
front axle
W.B. = Vehicle Wheelbase
