Exclamation Gross weight question

Hey,
Haven't posted on here in a while. Im moving up to the bay area tomorrow, from san diego, and have a question in regards to how much crap I can load into my trunk. The manual says I can load around 150ibs worth of stuff into the back. Unfortunately I have no way of actually weighing what I am putting in. Hopefully its not over, but if it is how much of a problem would this be?

Do I need to worry about tire pressure? The tires are supposed to be at 35. They are currently at 34/36/36/36.

Thanks in advance
Lion

No big deal. Set the tire pressure to 35 PSI cold. You will be fine.

I'd be more concerned with the weight crushing the trunk deck than overloading the car. That is most likely where they get the 150 lb limit.

You will be fine but I don't think you want to be running much over speed limits with car loaded down.

we have stiff springs in the car so you will probobly be fine just packing as much stuff in as u can. have some sit in the car while its packed and look at the tire. set an equal tire pressure per axle.
