How to carry heavy load?

Hello,

I am carrying half ton of ballast in the back?

The TC keeps coming on? How should I drive? Suspension high?

Thanks!

I would say put the load as far forward as possible, ie behind the front seats.

The TC should not come on due to weight, so there is an issue somewhere.

As soon as you exceed around 400kg you have to start thinking about the rest of the weight in the vehicle. By 500kg or so you are running out of legal options.
