Not very big blokes, as I recall 150Kg being mentioned. Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana

If Motortrend's source is good, it's rated to 650 lbs (294 kgs). See http://www.motortrend.com/oftheyear/suv/11..._rover_lr3

Faulty memory on my behalf - I found the reference I had; an 'Autocar' supplement, where Geoff Upex (design director) refers to the tailgate supporting 250kg to 300kg without complaint. On that basis, the Motortrend reference of Noreserve looks to be good. Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana
