Wouldn't have been more prudent to do a little homework first?

Re: Element Load Capacity
 

I called Honda HQ today and they confirmed the load capacity. I asked to
speak with the idiot who designed such a huge car able to carry only 4
persons. They declined.

In my worst nightmares I wouldn't imagine that such a huge car will
carry so little!
Hell, if the animal will have any puppies, it will be them or the
toolbox. Or risk overloading the tranny.

It isn't overloading the tranny.

It's more likely the lawyers. Wait until you get three guys in that
vehicle, and get into a wreck, and the car doesn't perform so well and
you try to sue Honda. Their lawyers will be all over that, claiming
that you overloaded it.

You could counterstrike, saying that their load limit was unreasonable.
Good luck.
