Rear hatch maximum load
 

Hi

What is the maximum load you can place on the rear hatch of an X5 when it is opened. For example is it safe to sit upon (like in a range rover - I assume not) or is it rated to a specific load in KG? This is based upon a car without the extending load floor

Many thanks

Hi, I weigh about 80kg and I sit on mine all the time when we go diving as do my mates. We usually rest the fully loaded cooler on there as well. So as long as you not too heavy it should be OK.

Thanks for the rapid reply. I particularly like your logo, a great result last night....come on the reds!!!

Depends on the year of your X5 (later models had increased load capacities). The owners manual lists the capacity of your particular model.

Thanks, hopefully I can change my logo to this in 3 weeks
