Trunk Capacity - 2016 Rogue

[Rogue-EdC]

Just got the car and enjoying it.

Question is concerning the trunk and the panels inside.

How much weight can either of the moveable panels hold before they buckle/get damaged? The panels are plastic and hollow, so I do want to be careful if I end up using it to transport some heavy-duty stuff, like some construction materials and such. Point loads (tree trunks) as well as spread loads (cinder blocks or bags of concrete).

Then comes the weight limit of the side supports for the moveable panels (those plastic hollow bumps the panels rest on). Or do I just move the panels to their lowest position (resting on the bottom panel covering the space)?

Then the same question goes to the bottom panel that covers the spare - will I need to put some reinforcement/load spreaders?

Yes, some anecdotal comments are ok, but hoping to get some measurements.

Thanks in advance.

The manual says the moveable panels can only support about 165 lbs conservatively. You can probably get away with a bit more without warping or permanent damage. If you drop them to its lowest position, it can support a lot more though since it'll just be resting on top of the spare tire.

The manual says ...

+1. When all else fails, RTFM.
