Iam doing a little concret project at home this weekend and picked up half of the concret today.7 80lbs bags.Thats 560 lbs. That is how much my last motorcycle weighed. It hauled it great.I will pick up the rest tommorow.I dont think I would want to put much more than that in the back.

BTW I have the TRD 1" lowering springs

 

I hauled 12 bags of top soil today--but I made my wife take it in her Rav4---No way I am hauling dirt in Old Yeller. What kind of drop did that give you on the rear??

 

Lol, I haul about 600+lbs in people everyday! Thats probably why I only get 25ish mpg.

 

^^^^ HAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHA!

I can see it now.... "BAD MPG IN YOUR XB? TRY LOSING WEIGHT! WHEN I LOST 60LBS, I WENT FROM 25MPG TO 34MPG! NOW YOU CAN TOO! ;]

I just hauled a couch in my box today. It fit pretty good but it wasnt a very comfortible drive though. I have pics and il post them eventualy.

 

Ooh, I wanna see that.

My friend has a three-cushion couch he needs to move. I'm afraid to try it.

 

I haul around these heavy subs every day.......gas mileage suffers.....

 

I hauled home 27 cases of drinks last week (re-stocking concession stand - GO CHARGERS!!!). It was fairly evenly distributed (folded down front passenger and rear seats), but the rear end sat down pretty low - I was afraid the tires would rub. I watched the bumps on the way home, but otherwise the box handled like a champ. I was actually really impressed. I'm not sure what the total weight was. I had 27 cases (24 bottles x 20 oz.) of drinks, so a ballpark figure is 800 pounds. Maybe?

 

 

Was that a 2 cushion couch?

 

Yes it is

 

UncleKD

101.2ish gallons using 8.33#'s per gallon(weight of water) comes to 843#'s ish

 

I'd like to see what that looked like. Pics please.

 

when i moved up here to alaska, i pulled a trailor and maxed the cars 800lb load limit, i pulled off a amazing 35 MPH, i recorded it at every fill up, but i know how i got that good gas milage.

 

It dropped another inch or so.It wasnt bad.
The TRD 1" drop springs are 10% stiffer than stock.

 

I hauled 10 bags of hardwood mulch (3-CuFt each) in my xB along with 3-50 lb bags of landscape rock. Not sure what that equates to in weight!

She handled it beautifully! I just had to allow more stopping time! LOL

My husband and I also managed to fit a vintage full size headboard in along with all of our luggage and other shopping spoils while on a weekend getaway to Philly!! The hatch shut and my seat was all the way back too!

LOVE that xB!!!
