For example, adding a 700 lb (318 kg) snow plow actually

adds more than 700 lbs (318 kg) to the front axle. Using

the formula, if the snow plow is 4 ft (122 cm) in front of the

front axle and the wheel base is 10 ft (305 cm), then:

W = 700 lb (318 kg)

A = 4 ft (122 cm)

W.B. = 10 ft (305 cm)

(W x (A + W.B.))/W.B. = (700 x (4 + 10))/10 = 980 lbs

(445 kg)

So, if your truck’s front axle reserve capacity is more

than 980 lbs (445 kg), you could add the snow plow

without exceeding the front GAWR.

Q: What if I want to add heavier equipment to my

vehicle?

A: You can add heavier equipment on the front of the

vehicle if you compensate for it by carrying fewer

passengers, less cargo, or by positioning cargo

towards the rear. This has the effect of reducing the

load on the front. However, the front GAWR, rear

GAWR and the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR)

must never be exceeded.

{CAUTION:

On some vehicles equipped with certain front

mounted equipment, such as a snow plow, it

may be possible to load the front axle to the

front GAWR but not have enough weight on

the rear axle to have proper braking

performance. If your brakes can not work

properly, you could have a crash. To help your

brakes work properly when a snow plow is

installed, always follow the snow plow

manufacturer or installer’s recommendation for

rear ballast to ensure a proper front and rear

weight distribution ratio, even though the

actual front weight may be less than the front

GAWR, and the total vehicle weight is less

than the GVWR. Maintaining a proper front and

rear weight distribution ratio is necessary to

provide proper braking performance.
