At that many bags, I would have thought that the car would have lived up to its name. ;)

LOL, exactly!

They had a deal on a ton and I just had to get it, what can I say, it's a flexible car...it didn't seem to mind too much and carried the load with Ford pride. Maybe I will get a trailer next year, too many of these can cause damage eventually.
 
There is a load rating sticker on the driver door frame. And it seems a few of you likely went over. :)
 
Got 40 bags in my Odyssey once. Could have easily done the whole ton but my wife started doing the waving of the arms thing and running in circles around the vehicle chewing her nails. I don't know why women worry so much....if I brake the car I'll buy you a new one.

I am afraid to put over 4 in my Aveo !! If a customer asks what their vehicle can handle I tell them only 4 bags per seat to be safe.
 
40 bags in a Toyota Seinna. Wouldn't want to drive to far or fast but felt like it that was about the max we should put in it.
