    Yep. But, sometimes the other sources are helpful to get relative comparisons to other vehicles. After all, is one going to go to Chevy, Acura, Nissan, Ford, etc. dealers and look around at the load info on all the models there?

    By itself, ~8xx lbs. sounds low. But, with context after comparing with other similarly sized vehicles, across many brands, you'll find that it's not. Many small SUVs and "crossovers", have relatively low max load limits.

    I replaced the stock Toyota electrons with "I Can't Believe It's Not Electrons" brand of charge carrying subatomic particles for the added fuel efficiency. You can get them from Best Buy next to the Monster Cables.

    Please state your source - I have a little physics background, and your statements are well to the uneducated side. Replacing electrons - please...

    You should instead try replacing your protons with positrons (antimatter electrons). They have the same charge as protons, but are roughly 1,000 times lighter, the same mass as an electron. You'd get far more benefit by replacing the protons than by even removing all electrons completely.

    There's a reason they're next to Monster Cables, you know - they're about as effective.
