As others said - try to load it as far forward as possible.

And make sure you have properly inflated tires, perhaps even 10% above
the recommended. But never more than the sidewall max pressure.

And don't throw your back out loading the out-back!

I need to transport 560 lbs. of cement in my 2000 Outback. Is it OK to
load up the back with that much and keep it loaded for 24 hours until
I get to the destination?  

I'm guessing it's OK becaus it's like having 3 good-sized adults in
the car, but I just want to be sure.
