Read your owners manual. I can guarantee it will not hold 600+ pounds.

F_O_R you guaranteed wrong. For anyone else interested 176lbs max drivable weight despite crossbars and 700lbs max stationary weight distributed evenly.

I got you to open that book in the glove box! Good for you. Most people have a hissy fit.
