Only 200 pounds, so was a tad surprised how much the rear sank. I am sure it is better than springs, and rode way better than any loaded wagen I have driven!  It seemed it liked the load as felt more confidant around corners (went the same speed if not faster) and the slight bounce was gone. Though did reduce the acceleration from a standstill but not if in motion. |
LOL, when we moved into this house in 2003, we moved our huge "Youngstown Kitchens" 1950s modular unit in that car.
After that, since they're fragile, valuable, and I didn't want the movers touching them, I moved my 12,000 78RPM records in the same car. My wife was horrified when it sagged to the bump stops in the back on the first trip with a load of records, but I started it and the rear came right back level.
That wagon will haul more than most pick up trucks.
