Fiesta Overload

[dick turpin]

Someone tell me it is perfectly OK to load

a Fiesta Sport with a 50kg sack of salt in

the rear footwell.....my missus is about to

meet her maker.

[Pdaz]

Car is designed to carry four ( possibly 5 ) adults plus luggage. So would suggest it can handle a payload of approx 400Kg  ( maybe more ) so 50kg shouldn't phase it. 

[Pdaz]

For what it's worth my missus used to worry about carrying 3 or 4 bags of pool salt in her CX-5. Until I pointed out there were seats for 5 people but only two were occupied..

Strap it into the rear seat and then ask your missus what is the difference between that and one of her porky friends ...ouch

[dick turpin]

She's got plenty of porky friends......but my concern is that this

was 50kgs of deadweight loaded on one point, can't have done

much for the rear end suspension. 

Then again, I'm forgetting Thai logic, her Fiesta being far better 

equipped to handle heavy loads than my feeble Vigo truck.

Stick it on the roof.........no problems there,maybe the missus could hold onto it also...

[JAS21]

Yes ... perfectly okay ...and you could put another one in the other footwell and one on the hump in the middle if you want ... not a good idea to put all three on the same footwell though ... always better to share the load across the car.

 

Bad luck if you have a 150kg friend ...if so get him to sit in the middle

The door handles are pretty good too.

If loading at one point is and issue just spread the 50kg evenly over the carpet lol

Post 1 it's the misses that's worried post 5 it's the OP

this Thread will all evolve to the equivalent of Youtubes' (How many ways can you destroy an Iphone6S)

It's the OP that's worried about his motor having 

a distinct bow in the middle, as to the boot always

told the missus to put heavy stuff in the footwells,

lower centre of gravity etc.
