How much weight can a car trunk hold?

[DiKennedy]

The load capacity of a car trunk has no clear standard. Generally, as long as the total weight of the loaded items plus the car does not exceed the gross vehicle weight, it is acceptable. It is recommended not to exceed 300 pounds. If the trunk is heavily loaded, both fuel consumption and driving safety cannot be guaranteed. Additionally, attention should be paid to the nature of the items stored in the trunk. Items that should not be placed in the trunk include: 1. Flammable and explosive materials: Lighters, outdoor gas stoves, hairspray, and similar items should not be stored in the trunk, as they pose a risk to driving safety. 2. Heavy miscellaneous items: Overloading the trunk can strain the car's suspension, increase fuel consumption, and may even cause the trunk to pop open unexpectedly. 3. Fruits and perishable foods: These items are prone to spoilage. If forgotten in the trunk, they can rot and affect the comfort of the ride.
