Christiaan,
You're kidding, right?

That 1200 lbs is probably on the "safe side" via design...

My guess is one could put more than that 1200 lbs in an X, well distributed,
for a short duration...maybe even repeat that a couple/few times.

Continually being in excess of that will probably cause some accelerated and undue
wear on suspension, tires, trans, motor, brakes, etc.

Did any of these possiblities cross your mind before posting the question?

Must be that armored car thing...
GL,mD
