One of the primary advantages of owning an SUV is that it gives you a lot of cargo space. At Gateway Cadillac in Fargo, ND, we want to help you better understand how to safely put larger or heavier items in your vehicle.
Ideally, you will lift with your legs to reduce the strain on your back or other muscles. In addition, you should make sure that you have someone to help you lift irregularly shaped items. If you're alone, a store employee may be able to help you load groceries, lumber, or other stuff into your SUV.
It's also a good idea to make use of a power liftgate if your car has one, as you won't need to put anything down to open your vehicle. Finally, be sure that you have enough room to avoid hitting pets or anyone sitting in the car as items are being loaded.
