L† = Horizontal distance in inches between the SUB
center of gravity and the of the front axle.
P = Passenger load (SeeE-SeriesPassenger Load
Table page 13).
CGv = Vertical distance from theground to thecenterof
gravity [inches] of the completed vehicle.
CGh = Horizontal distance from of the frontwheels to
completed vehicle center of gravity [inches].
CGvb = Vertical distance from theground to thecenterof
gravityof theSUBand/or permanentlyattached
added equipment [inches].
CGvc = Vertical distance from the ground to the center
of gravity of the chassis [inches] (including
cab if original equipment). (Taken from Table
F, page 16).
CGhp = Horizontal distance from the of the front
wheels to theP [inches] (passenger load) (taken
fromTableD, page 16).
Wb = Weight of theSUBand/or permanentlyattached
added equipment [pounds].
Wrb = Weight at the rear wheels of the SUB
and/or permanently attached added equipment
[pounds].
Wrc = Weight at the rearwheelsof thevehicle (chassis
and cab) (fuel tanks full) [pounds]. Including
optionweight.
Wc = Weight of the vehicle (chassis and cab) (fuel
tanks full) [pounds]. Including optionweight.
WB = Vehiclewheelbase [inches].
Wt = Total unladenweight = (Wb +Wc +P)
GVWR = Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle
[pounds].
WI‡ = Remaining cargo capacity [pounds].
Where:Wl =GVWR - (W b +Wc +P)
Wrl‡ = Weight of the remaining cargo capacity on the
rear wheels [pounds].
WrI = (CGhI)WI
WB
CGhI ‡ = Horizontal distance from the of the frontwheels
to thecargocenterofgravity [inches] (taken from
Table C page 16). For many common vehicles,
the CGhI is not given in the table, then it may
be estimated as the distance from the of the
frontwheel to thehorizontalmidpointof thecargo
area.
SUB = A Second Unit Body consists of the body
structure and/or all the cargo carrying, work
performing, and/or load bearing components
and/or equipment installed by a subsequent
stage manufacturer on an incomplete vehicle,
such that the incomplete vehicle becomes a
completed vehicle.
† Required for <8000 lb.GVWR calculations only. ‡ Required for ≥8000 lb.GVWR calculations only.
