Default Rugged H3.

Yesterday I needed to pick up a "few" bags of marbled rocks for the wife's garden. I placed 42 (40 lb.) bags inside the H3.Do the math! 42 x 40 lbs = 1680 lbs!!! More than 3/4 ton! Layed the back seats down, placed a blanket down, and loaded it up. The beast took it like nothing was different. It didn't even use the helper springs. Adventure / Lux package.
Although, I don't recommend doing this. It's just cool that it worked.

Truely made in Mordor!!!

Helper Springs? What's that? Is that something only available in the adventure package?

I was amazed at how the stiff the rear springs are, under about a 1000lb tongue weight on my trailer the rear end of the h3 sagged about 1/2"....my tahoe sagged about 3"
