Vehicle carrying capacity

[Soldier of Od]

Hi All,

How much weight can the trucks in the Rifts world carry? A lot of them state how much they can tow but not what weights they can handle in their truck beds/cargo compartments. I'm thinking of vehicles such as the Cargonaut (NG2), Rumble Wagon (Black Market) the Road King (NG2) and the Road Buster (NG2) in particular.

Thanks.

It would fall under gms call general rule would be Pick up style trucks 1/4 to 1/2 ton. Large cargo trucks with a bed would most likely be likely the military vehicles 2.5 tons or 5 tons being the most likely.

unless we're transporting something very dense like gold or lead or stone, we generally just assumed that if it fit within the volume of the storage area, that we were good.

I have no idea if there are canon rules that attempt to govern this.

Given the MDC chassis I tend to go also with the if you can fit it in the bed it probably will lift it unless its something really out of the ordinary.
