JustBlown Member 12 Member For: 10y 1m 21d Gender: Male Location: Mid North coast NSW Posted 28/12/14 06:18 PM Author Share Posted 28/12/14 06:18 PM So,how do you guy's actually carry anything remotely heavy in the back of your XR6 utes ? I weighed mine yesterday ( 1780 kg with alloy tray) and adding two ppl ,I'm left with a puny payload of only about 435 kg. Its a new vehicle here so haven't loaded anything yet but I know my other FG one tonner wouldn't take anything like a tonne.So I'm thinking that half of this payload would set an XR6 right down in the bum.Here's another link to the relatively new Firestone rolling sleeve airbags:http://www.4wdnews.com.au/4wd-accessories-news/suspension/item/2026-new-firestone-airbag-suspension-to-suit-ford-falcon-utes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
