What is the maximum load capacity of the Borgward BX7?
2 Answers
The maximum load capacity of the Borgward BX7 can reach approximately 1.5 tons. The load capacity is measured in tons, and the measurement is based on weight rather than volume. Total vehicle mass: Refers to the weight of the vehicle when fully equipped and loaded with passengers (including the driver) and cargo as specified. Curb weight: Curb weight is the empty weight of the vehicle when it is ready to drive under normal conditions, without passengers (including the driver) or cargo. Payload capacity: This is the difference between the total vehicle mass and the curb weight. It represents the total possible weight of passengers and cargo the vehicle can carry, i.e., the effective loading capacity of the vehicle.
I remember when I researched the Borgward BX7 before, its maximum payload was around 500 kilograms, which includes all passengers, luggage, and miscellaneous items in the car. Never overload it, otherwise the car will feel floaty when driving, and the braking distance will increase, which is especially dangerous on highways. When I use this car myself, I estimate the total weight with a mobile app before loading luggage, such as weighing the boxes with a scale, ensuring the weight is evenly distributed between the front and rear axles. There might be slight differences between different model years, like the 2018 and 2020 versions having slightly different data, so it's best to check your vehicle's manual or the sticker on the door frame. Safety first—don’t neglect regular suspension system checks during maintenance, as it can extend the car's lifespan.
