Whether you bought your SUV to haul things around Wilmington, NC, or for vacations and off-roading fun, the time will come when you’ll need to carry some cargo. There is more to loading cargo than just throwing in as much as you can just so it fits, and you can close the trunk. The most important thing is safety. Here are some tips on safely loading your cargo into your SUV.
- Know your SUV’s weight limits, and do not go over them.
- Heavy cargo can put stress on your tires, so make sure your tires are inflated to the vehicle’s specifications.
- Put in the larger and heavier items first and on the bottom so you don’t have to move them to get to smaller items.
- Do not stack things so high that you can’t see through your rearview mirrors or your blind spot.
- Make sure your SUV is in good condition.
