Hey everyone, I recently picked up a very clean 2015 QX60, am I’m loving it so far. Question: we just did our first road trip, and with passengers an gear in the back, it seemed the rear en d was sagging more than I’d expect. I am measuring about a 2-2.5” sag when loaded. Is this normal? I haven’t had a chance to get under it to look for broken springs, so thought I’d see if you all had any insights. Thanks!

What amount of stuff are we talking about? my wife loves to collect interesting rocks on our travels - small boulders...so your fully loaded needs clarification.

Fair enough: when I actually measured it had probably 700 pounds of pavers in the cargo area. I also noticed the sag when I had my kid and our luggage and gear, that was probably about 400 pounds all in.

The pavers would be a concentrated load on the rear, the people and luggage would be more spread out to both front and rear. I really doubt there is a problem with your springs, but these cars are not an F150 for their ability to haul.
