How much weight can a sedan's trunk hold?
1 Answers
There is no clear standard for the load capacity of a sedan's trunk. Generally, as long as the total weight of the loaded items plus the car does not exceed the gross vehicle weight, it is acceptable. However, it is recommended not to exceed 300 pounds. If the trunk is heavily loaded, it can affect the chassis and suspension system, and the car's fuel consumption and driving safety may also be compromised. Items that should not be placed in the trunk: Flammable and explosive items: Flammable and explosive items must not be stored in the car trunk, especially during high temperatures, as they can easily explode. This is particularly important for drivers who enjoy road trips. Items such as lighters, outdoor gas stoves, and hairspray should not be kept in the trunk to ensure driving safety. Heavy miscellaneous items: When going on a road trip or driving back home, many car owners tend to store a lot of miscellaneous items in the trunk. However, overloading the trunk can strain the car's suspension system, significantly increase fuel consumption, and may even cause the trunk to pop open. It is advisable to manage the trunk space reasonably. Fruits and perishable food: These items are prone to spoilage. If forgotten in the trunk, they can rot and negatively impact the comfort of the ride.
