Oh BTW thats a 1.9 meter book case for my office! Try and fit it in less than an 2010 E class or R310 Merc at $150K plus or Skoda Superb from 45k-73k, and your stuffed.

that is a very roomy car!!

question - the creamy/white thingy that goes across the top back of the boot - can it be removed?
i noticed with ur seats down, that bar/thingy is still in place.

Looks the same as the Octy wagon, in which case you just push the lever at the top and the whole structure comes away.

Thats is just the retractable cargo blind, can easily be removed as required.

that's wat i suspected.
that being the case, u could easily fit atleast 4 or 5 of those boxes, standing on its side ;)

Hahahaha yes well at 40KG a POP i think that would be a instant lowering kit!

You could fit 10 comfortably in there indeed. But 400kg in the back.. hmmm not sure i would want to.

We tow a trailer that is bloody heavy on the tow bar, it takes too people to lift it onto the ball. When we put it on the tow ball the Superb drops about 10mm, hardly anything. On our previous tow car (Statesman) we had to fit airbags to stop it dropping too far.

[woofy]

Hmm hoping that tow ball weight isn't more than 75kg or you could be in trouble....

[Ozsko]

Why trouble? I have towed this thing thousands of K's and never had an issue. I doubt it is that heavy but then I have never weighed it.

[whitelion]

Your tow-ball weight should be 10% of your towed mass.
Sounds like your trailer isn't set up properly, or you're loading too much weight to the front!

On the Towbar tounge it actually states that you cannot have a vertical load weight more than 75kgs

Be careful as the tow bar design is unique and not designed to have heavy unbalanced trailers.

That sounds about right then, the trailer weighs 650KG loaded and it is most probably about 60KG on the ball. The one thing that must never happen when a trailer is set up is getting it too light on the front, instant instability.

I thought that too ( needing weight on the towball for good trailer stability ) but a mate has a trailer that is almost perfectly balanced even when fully loaded ( 1 person using 1 hand with minimal effort to lift the trailer onto the towball ) so very little down weight on the towball and that thing tracks so well at all speeds. But he has laser tracked his axles to be perfectly aligned ( exactly the same distance) to the towhitch, so that might be the secret. Mass produced trailers are just thrown together and rely on heavy towball weight to make up for inaccurate manufacture.

What has happened in recent times to stabilise trailers is to have the axle set back so it is behind the centre line of the trailer which includes the tow bar of the trailer. This way it is being dragged straight (the best way I can describe it). Some vans are visibly set well back to achieve this. Sorry for dragging this off topic, I was only trying to illustrate the carrying/weight capacity of the car without it becoming a lot lower. It absolutely surprised me.
