Tips for Safely Loading Cargo Into an SUV

If you are taking a road trip or moving with your SUV, it is important to load it properly, so the cargo is stable and well-balanced. If you have other questions about going on a road trip in your SUV, come by Cassill Motors Inc in Cedar Rapids, IA to talk to our team.

The largest and heaviest pieces of cargo should be loaded into your SUV first and closest to the center of the vehicle. This not only keeps the weight well-distributed, but it also helps keep the cargo stable, so there aren't issues with it falling.

Once you are done with the large items, pack softer items around them for stability. Small and medium-sized items can be tied down or put in areas that you can easily reach. Also, when you plan your trip, utilize small spaces and pockets in your SUV, so you can easily reach things like tablets, maps, or trash bins.
