Does anyone have a sticker on the driver’s side doorsill stating that the load capacity has been reduced? Anyone knows why?

 

I have one also but it says it has been reduced by “0” lbs. I asked my friend that works at Toyota and he said it could be options installed at the port. He sees them on a lot of the new cars.

 

That is correct. When additional equipment/options are added to a vehicle after its initial build at the factory, auto manufacturers are required to add those stickers to provide information about how the additional equipment/options reduce the weight capacity from what it was listed as in the vehicle's original specifications. In most cases, the reduction in weight capacity is negligible.

 

Yes, that's normal. Anytime an accessory is added, they are obligated to tell you how much it weighed. Same label is on my 2015 GS350.

 

Thanks everyone. This is the first time I’ve seen this on a vehicle. It’s strange because I don’t have any installed options.

 

I believe that there are a number of items, including things like floor mats, trunk/cargo area mats, tool kits, first aid kits, etc., that are typically "installed" on vehicles after they leave the factory.

 

Entering your VIN at https://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrive.../vehicle-specs will likely show you what was added at the port that reduced carrying capacity.

 

^ I just looked up my car - it says I have a tow package (ha ha). I got my car as a CPO and they never said anything about it. There is no hitch, but I guess I have the "towing pre-package". Bonus!

And my Port adds were Cargo Net,Cargo Mat,Wheel Locks & Key Glove.
