Door Tag will list the axle ratings.
The wheels will be stamped w/ a Weight Capacity (at least mine are).
The tires will have coding (LR or load range) and a letter - as well most have weight rating (per tire) stamped on the sidewall.

you'll encounter 4 types of trans -
  • Traditional Fully Manual (3 pedal)....Clutch/Brake & Throttle
  • 3 Pedal Manuals that only require the use of Clutch to Start (from stop)
  • 2 Pedal "auto-shift" or "smart-shift" in 10/12 or 13 speed (or as i call 'em manumatic) - these are DRY clutch w/out a clutch pedal - and they auto shift the gears (up & down) and skip shift as needed based on load.
  • Traditional Automatics (6 or 8 speed w/ Torque Converters)
