Can a sedan trunk be damaged by carrying 400 jin?
2 Answers
Carrying 400 jin in a sedan trunk will not damage it. Here is more relevant information: 1. Trunk: The car trunk serves as the vehicle's storage compartment for miscellaneous items. A trunk mat can effectively protect the car trunk, preventing dirt or liquids from entering and eroding the trunk surface, and also preventing items inside the trunk from sliding. The car trunk reduces the likelihood of interior contamination and damage, as cleaning the trunk mat is more convenient and economical than cleaning the interior. 2. Trunk configuration: It should contain various tools such as a spare tire, jack, headlight tools, warning triangle, first aid kit, etc. Generally, these items should be standard equipment in a car, but many models do not include all of them. In fact, the first aid kit and warning triangle should be standard, as they are crucial for driving safety and emergency assistance.
I remember last time I helped a friend transport fitness equipment, the entire trunk was packed to the brim with nearly 200 kilograms of weight. While driving, I could clearly feel the rear suspension sinking. After getting home, I checked and found slight deformation—fortunately, it was repaired in time. Generally, sedan trunk load capacity is designed for 50-100 kilograms. Consistently carrying 200 kilograms (400 pounds) of excess weight can accelerate wear on the suspension and shock absorbers, and tires may deform faster under pressure. It’s best not to exceed the manual’s recommended limits—consider making multiple trips or using a trailer for safety. Avoiding damage to the car’s structure or potential accidents is more important than convenience, after all.
