Hi,
What is payload on Element? I heard 600 lbs or something like that.
Not much to carry on it.

Re: How is the Element?
 

The payload isn't an issue with me, it'll hold everything I can think of..
otherwise I'd have bought a pickup. What ever goes in must come out, so I'm
not thinking of throwing in a few refrigerators or a ton of bricks, but it
will hold all of my travel/camping and boating equipment and a few 2x4's and
sheetrock.

The storage is a bit of a problem with so much room, it takes some effort
packing tight. For my needs this vehicle was and is perfect just came back
from a diner run and the side roads not touched no problem.
