  It's the backpack's volume unit of measure for camping and trekking aficionados... (hm, hm hiking snobs). You can hear endless discussions about the benefits of that 70 liter backpack over the 50 liter other ones, with build-in features such as toilet paper hanger and urine-to-drinking-water tanks. Such is the life of a hiking aficionados

  "The Pacifica hardly noticed. Even with all our stuff in the back, there was plenty of room for more"
  
  Hey Travis, do you mean it didn't notice because it had enough volume capacity for the stuff, or because with all of it in it's road behaviour was unchanged? I think it was the Kia Sedona that drove worse once it was loaded with passengers.
  
  Thanks!

  I was referring to the volume capacity for stuff but it applies to the road behavior as well. Of course, the behavior of any vehicle changes when you add 800lbs of stuff/people to it, but the Pacifica was still comfortable on road.

  Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the ride of the Pacifica Limited is not compromised by the 800lb load because it has an automatic level control system on the rear suspension.
