dick turpin Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdaz Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdaz Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAS21 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Strap it into the rear seat and then ask your missus what is the difference between that and one of her porky friends ...ouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dick turpin Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAS21 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisH Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 If loading at one point is and issue just spread the 50kg evenly over the carpet lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
