How strong is the load deck when all seats are folded down?

I have a sheet of CDX I cut custom to the space and that adds the bonus of one smooth space to slide things in and out of the back. I have had 2 full sets of tires + floor jack, and all sorts of things. Just spread the load across the back and things seem fine. Also put a set of boxed washer/dryer back there with no issue.

Also fun fact: 4'x8' sheets of plywood/drywall fit perfectly with all the seats down in the back of my '12 MAX. Hope they didn't change this in the 4th-gen.

I'm pretty certain I've seen that specifically mentioned in multiple marketing materials (for the MAX).

I'm planning on using it on occasion at my funeral home to haul bodies. I'll be putting 400lbs or more on it in small areas as the cot loads into the back.

Username checks out...

Within the first couple months I broke the plastic piece that folds with the rear seats covering the gap. Part of a stroller got underneath it and some force while driving pushed it in an awkward direction and snapped it off.

Haven't done anything about it yet...

Sure seems for $75K they could do a little better with that piece! lol
