Can the Wuling Mini Truck Carry 2 Tons on the Highway?

Wuling mini trucks with a maximum speed exceeding 70 km/h are permitted on highways. Below are relevant regulations concerning highway driving for motor vehicles: 1. Speed Limits: Pedestrians, non-motor vehicles, tractors, wheeled special machinery vehicles, articulated buses, full trailers, and other motor vehicles with a design maximum speed below 70 km/h are prohibited from entering highways. The maximum speed indicated by highway speed limit signs shall not exceed 120 km/h. 2. Distance Restrictions: When driving normally on highways, the following vehicle in the same lane must maintain sufficient distance from the vehicle ahead. Under normal conditions, when traveling at 100 km/h, the following distance should be at least 100 meters. 3. Accident Handling Procedures: If a vehicle cannot leave the driving lane or must park on the shoulder due to breakdown or accident, the driver must immediately activate hazard warning lights and place a warning sign 100 meters behind in the driving direction. At night, width marker lights and tail lights must also be turned on. Drivers and passengers must quickly move to the right shoulder or emergency stopping area and immediately report to traffic police.

I've been driving a small truck for over a decade, often making highway deliveries for goods transport. The Wuling mini-truck's standard load capacity is just over one ton, and carrying two tons definitely exceeds the limit. Two years ago, my friend tried to save trouble by loading nearly two tons of cargo. As soon as he passed the weigh station at the highway entrance, he was found to be 20% overloaded. He was immediately stopped by traffic police, fined 1,200 yuan, and had to unload and split the cargo for separate transport. Overloading not only results in heavy fines but also makes the vehicle prone to damage, with significant risks like chassis deformation, tire blowouts, and brake failure. On the highway, where speeds are high, losing control can lead to major accidents. Last year, I saw an overloaded small truck overturn, blocking the road for half an hour. I recommend checking the vehicle's manual or nameplate—the legal limit is the total weight minus the empty vehicle weight. Never gamble with safety; taking national roads is more stable. If the cargo is genuinely heavy, it's better to hire a proper large truck for sharing the load—it's much more reliable.

I recently bought a Wuling mini truck, mainly for hauling construction materials. According to official data, its payload capacity is around 0.9 to 1.2 tons, so carrying 2 tons is definitely over the limit. Highway entrances have automatic weighing systems—exceeding 10% overload gets you denied entry. My relative tried hauling 1.8 tons and got fined 800 RMB, plus delays. Overloading shortens the vehicle's lifespan, accelerating engine wear and suspension aging, leading to costly repairs. Insurance might also deny accident claims. Safety-wise, heavy loads increase rollover risks on highway curves and double braking distances. My advice: weigh your cargo first, check the manual's limits, and if overloaded, split loads or choose lighter goods. Long-distance highway regulations are strict—following them saves money and time.

I'm a car mechanic, and I often work on Wuling mini trucks. Carrying two tons on the highway? No way. The standard chassis load capacity is about one ton. Overloading can bend the axles and damage the suspension system, leading to high repair costs. Owners report frequent brake failures and tire blowouts after hauling heavy loads. Overloading on highways can easily cause loss of control, increasing the risk of accidents. Quickly check the vehicle's nameplate data.
