Hmmm, you make a good point. It says weight box permitted, not required.
On the Monte, we have to empty the box and remove it from the vehicle in order to make the minimum. If we had 5 strips of steel instead, I don't see what difference it would make, except we'd have to crawl under the car every time we wanted to adjust + or - 20 lbs. Seems a lot easier to have a few T-bolts on the lid of the box.
Good luck with that , Hackie...In fact I'd probably argue your side in tech, if I wanted to do it the hard way ;-)
