Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 2004What's the maximum safe load capacity of an 1988 CRX DX?
I need to transport myself (150 Lbs) and about 400 Lbs of supplies for a distance of 975 miles. The passenger seat will be taken out to free up space and reduce weight. IIRC, I vaguely remember reading in a manual or a Honda brochure that the capacity is 2 adults plus 200Lbs of cargo, but now I can't find that info. Thanks for any info. ||I need to transport myself (150 Lbs) and about 400 Lbs of supplies for ||a distance of 975 miles. The passenger seat will be taken out to free ||up space and reduce weight.

Just taking out the seat frees some load, so figure 175# passenger 200# additonal load 375 rated load You would be 400# load -30# seat 370 actual load. And the factory rating is neccessarily conservative. I don't know that I'd take on any windy mountain roads so loaded.

Just to back up at least somewhat what the others said (which all makes sense): http://www.honda.co.uk/owner/CRXManual/62SH200/3-8.pdf It looks like there are about 1000 lbs. difference between curb weight and the "maximum loaded weight," so I'd say the capacity is about 2 adults (at 175 lbs. each) plus maybe 650 lbs., fairly evenly distributed.
