Two-Tiered Loading
Depending on the model of your pick-up, an upper load platform can be created by positioning three or four 5 cm (2 inches) by 15 cm (6 inches) wooden planks across the width of the pickup box. The planks must be inserted in the pickup box depressions.
When using this upper load platform, be sure the load is securely tied down to prevent it from shifting. The load's center of gravity should be positioned in a zone over the rear axle. The zone is located in the area between the front of each wheel well and the rear of each wheel well. The center of gravity height must not extend above the top of the pickup box flareboard.
Any load that extends beyond the vehicle's taillamp area must be properly marked according to local laws and regulations.
Remember not to exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) of the front or rear axle.
