    Most smaller cars are designed for 150lbs * 5 people plus a little cargo. So around 800-1000lbs.

    Four 300lb people = 1,200lbs. The suspension on that little car was fucked.

    The F150 is rated between 1800-2300lbs depending on the model. They can even squeeze in a 5th person into that setup.

      I was exaggerating about my friends weight … they aren’t 300 lbs but they are pretty close and probably average about 250lbs … although their oldest son is over 6’ and looks long and large and probably does weigh close to 300lbs

      Whatever their weight … they really put a lot of stress in the car
