Default Gravel haul with my new Pilot EX

It's my first post, so I figured why not post a picture of my Pilot doing what none of my cars could. I took my week old Pilot EX out today to haul some gravel for my parent's garden. It handled great other than a longer stopping distance, which was expected.

How much weight did you carry in gravel? It looks pretty well loaded down. Hope you are enjoying your new Pilot!

I'm not totally sure, the bags were not listed with a weight. They were listed in square feet. If I had to guess, I would say they were maybe 15-20 pounds a piece and I had 25 of them in the back.

That's gravel, not fertilizer. Those have to be 50 lb bags, at least.

Welcome to the forum, congrats and best of luck.

Well if that's true, then that means I'm stronger than I thought. Those bags were pretty easy to toss.
