What is the maximum load capacity of the Changan Ruixing M80?
2 Answers
Changan Ruixing M80 has a maximum load capacity of 2000KG, so it should not exceed 2000KG. In reality, it can carry more, but overloading is not recommended. The Changan Ruixing M80 is positioned as a light passenger vehicle. It offers two power types: gasoline and natural gas. Below are some key details about the Changan Ruixing M80: 1. Body dimensions: Length × Width × Height are 4805/1715/1990mm, with a wheelbase of 3050mm. 2. The body structure of the Ruixing M80 is semi-load-bearing, featuring a large cargo space of 6 cubic meters, with a maximum effective trunk volume of 6000 liters. 3. Powertrain: It is equipped with a 1.5L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 80KW and a maximum torque of 130N·m. 4. To enhance safety, the Ruixing M80 adopts a front-wheel forward protruding design to increase the buffer zone and extend collision time. Additionally, it is equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD).
I've driven the Changan Rui Xing M80 for long-distance deliveries, and its load capacity depends on the model and actual configuration. The standard version has an official payload of around 1.5 tons, while the freight version with reinforced leaf springs can handle up to 1.8 tons. However, actual road conditions must be considered. I've carried 1.6 tons of construction materials on national highways without issues, but in steep mountainous areas, it's better to reduce to 1.3 tons to prevent excessive engine RPM during climbs. When loading cargo, distribute the weight evenly in the compartment to avoid uneven sinking and damaging the shock absorbers. Also, pay attention to the tire specifications—the factory-fitted load-rated tires are prone to bulging when carrying over 1.5 tons. Overloading once or twice might not show immediate problems, but doing it long-term can deform the chassis, and repairs can cost thousands.
