I dought it but stop loading when it sags, put some on the passenger floor, seat, and rear seat, I overloaded mine and broke a spring when hitting a bump. > 97 Camry LE 4 cyl. > I need to pick up some concrete pavers that are 2"x8"x16" & weigh 17 > pounds each. > I need 36 & the total weight will be 612 pounds. > Can i put these in the trunk safely ? The suspension in the FOUR cyl. is the sh.ts. ANother reason that I am glad that I bought the SIX cyl, unlike the cheapies here. > > 97 Camry LE 4 cyl. > > I need to pick up some concrete pavers that are 2"x8"x16" & weigh 17 [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > The suspension in the FOUR cyl. is the sh.ts.

You are the one complaining about tire sensors being a waste of money, and calling everyone with a 4cil "cheapies" read your posts, and quit smokin whatever it is. I went on a toyota parts book from a dealer in my area to find out that th springs on a 4 cyl and 6 cyl camry are the same. where could the differenc be? Scot - Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.toyota.camry More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.htm No, the springs on the 4- and the 6-cyl are not the same. Aftermarkets may give you stronger springs for the 4-cyl but the OEM toyota springs for them are JUNK like other said. > I went on a toyota parts book from a dealer in my area to find out that the > springs on a 4 cyl and 6 cyl camry are the same. where could the difference [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Message posted usinghttp://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.toyota.camry/ > More information athttp://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html >I went on a toyota parts book from a dealer in my area to find out that the > springs on a 4 cyl and 6 cyl camry are the same. where could the > difference > be? Scott What year of Camry, Scott? The 6 cyl, for CERTAIN years, such as 1999, definitely has better SUSPENSION than its 4 cyl. counterpart. Under SUSPENSION, I include such things as springs, struts, etc.. > -- > Message posted using > http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.toyota.camry/ > More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html The 4-cyls have really cheap rear springs, maybe the fronts too. You read reports of them sagging to easily. So take it easy while loading. Maybe make two-three trips if not too much trouble. > 97 Camry LE 4 cyl. > I need to pick up some concrete pavers that are 2"x8"x16" & weigh 17 pounds > each. > I need 36 & the total weight will be 612 pounds. > Can i put these in the trunk safely ?

There was a time when the V6 Camry made sense. However the improvement to the 4 cylinder engine have been so significant, that now there is little benefit in the V6. Yeah, 0-60 in 6.5 seconds for the V6 versus a still respectable 8.9 seconds for the I4. If you're doing a lot of mountain driving off of freeways then maybe the V6 makes sense. For city and freeway driving, the better fuel economy and higher reliability makes the I4 the smarter choice. They had to beef up the suspension for the extra weight of the V6 engine, yet the towing capacity is still the same at 1000 pounds. > >> - Show quoted text - > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > the extra weight of the V6 engine, yet the towing capacity is still the > same at 1000 pounds. Why the avg car owner should have more than 3-4 cilinders is beyond me, >>>> - Show quoted text - >>> And FAR worse on milage, which is all I care about. [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Why the avg car owner should have more than 3-4 cilinders is beyond > me, Some people still remember very weak 4 cylinder engines from the 1970's and 1980's and don't realize how much more powereful today's 4 cylinder engines are. I remember when my dad had a V8 Dodge Dart and my stepfather had a slant 6 Dodge Dart. The slant 6 was anemic, the V8 was not. That put the notion in my head that I just had to have a V8, on any car I owned (though in reality I never bought a V8). I had a 1985 Toyota Landcruiser with a 4.2L inline 6, and that was an anemic engine for such a heavy vehicle. So there were, and probably are still are, times when the lower hp engine makes a big difference, but the Camry isn't one of those times.

You sharcy have proven continualy you are just rude, condisending, uneducated, and not very bright My IQ is at LEAST 50 points over yours. >Just one, small, light body, in the trunk and you are bottoming out. That's the trouble with these new fangled cars. In the old days you had no problem putting 2-3 bodies and a full size carpet in the average American boat, err car. > 97 Camry LE 4 cyl. > I need to pick up some concrete pavers that are 2"x8"x16" & weigh 17 pounds > each. > I need 36 & the total weight will be 612 pounds. > Can i put these in the trunk safely ? ============= Locate the sticker on the front driver side door post and find the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating). Subtract your weight and the remainer is the rated load capacity for your car. Also check the owner's manual to see if you need to add air in the rear tires for "fully loaded - four passengers with luggage" - probably something like an extra two pounds p.s.i. > > 97 Camry LE 4 cyl. > > I need to pick up some concrete pavers that are 2"x8"x16" & weigh 17 pounds [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > rear tires for "fully loaded - four passengers with luggage" - > probably something like an extra two pounds p.s.i.
