Altered car handling characteristics with extra weight in rear?
I've just had mounted a carrier for a motorized wheel chair on a Kia Optima 4 door sedan. Car weight approx 3500lbs. The weight of the carrier, hitch and chair approx 500 to 700 pounds. Is this going to alter the steering, braking or any other handling characteristics of the car? Be really nice if I could get an answer from someone who has actually driven a vehicle configured like this. Thanks in advance.
have you checked to make sure the suspension can handle it, does the car come with a tow package,if not it might not be made for hauling, stiffer springs? the brakes are a definite concern as is the weight limits of the tires. what is the total weight of carrier, wheel chair, passengers, other equip. you could be adding a half a ton or more when fully loaded. at the very least take it easy for a while, i would imagine you will notice a difference.
