Most smaller cars are designed for 150lbs * 5 people plus a little cargo. So around 800-1000lbs.

Four 300lb people = 1,200lbs. The suspension on that little car was fucked.

The F150 is rated between 1800-2300lbs depending on the model. They can even squeeze in a 5th person into that setup.

I was exaggerating about my friends weight .... they aren't 300 lbs but they are pretty close and probably average about 250lbs .... although their oldest son is over 6' and looks long and large and probably does weigh close to 300lbs

Whatever their weight ... they really put a lot of stress in the car
