Would you put an engine block in your trunk?
Need to haul a block from a civic, roughly 200 lbs. Do you think the thin black metal sheet over the tank is strong enough? I'm not so sure...
Gracias! |

My take is your trunk can handle 200 lbs of luggage. The key is to distribute the load out to the structure and not have it all on that plate only. What about cutting 2x8s and laying them down across the trunk floor. Then perhaps a piece of plywood on top.
I never have to deal with things like this as I have a full size truck |

make some attempt to strap it down, or jam it in place so it can't move. If you end up having to slam on the brakes or get cut off, it will rearrange itself back there...
