Default Reduced Weight Carrying Limit

Just saw that I have a sticker that looks like it was put in my the factory. It states that the maximum carrying weight on my vehicle is reduced by 7-lbs due to modifications.
What do you guys think this may be?

It's there for liability since extras added to the vehicle may have reduced the load. Helpful thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...y-sticker.html

Mine has one too. If 7lbs makes the difference, there's a whole lot more wrong than that 7lbs.

It's because of the options your car has, for example luxury package or some individual options.

The 450h weights 4190 lb stock.
GS 350 RWD wight 3,795 lbs

GS 350 RWD payload capacity 1,035 lbs
GS 450h payload capacity 935 lbs

So despite the hybrid weighing about 400 lb more the payload capacity in the hybrid is only reduced by 100 lb

So yeah 7lbs makes no difference.

HAHA, I used to have a 125HP shot on my Buick. It was AMAZING stuff. It would boil the tires when it shifted into 3rd gear. That was when I had more HP than sense.

I recognize that location, Wasteland Weekend in California City, Ca. It occurs every year at a random location near California City. It gets mighty strange in town on those days.

For the record, mine is 2 door, red and I'd never mount an M60 on my car. I'm more of a minigun kind of guy.
