MODERATORS
Most SUVs cannot handle the weight, let alone a car. A typical SUV will allow for 200-300 lbs in the trunk. At least according to the GVWR and with 2 passengers.
Obviously all serious car buyers shop for sexy, maneuverable dump trucks.
That's why there are so many baby killers on the road, peanut butter!
500kg of PB is NOT an appropriate substitute for a proper baby car seat.
Sadly big pb has tried to make it seem like PB is the solution to all issues. But really, it's just for that one thing
Whoever is down voting me should actually go out and check what the GVWR of their vehicle is and the curb weight + fuel and passengers. It's surprisingly low even for a full sized SUV unless you own a body on frame SUV. Sure you can exceed the GVWR but you are potentially endangering others on the road with increased braking distances and poor handling.
You should look up those values on SUVs vs. regular older cars. I can almost guarantee that many older cars allowed you to transport more than most modern SUVs.
