I reckon it would be limited to no more than about 350-400kg max but don't quote me on that. As for how much it can "take", well, that's a different story

I think 575kg is more than the XLS ute takes ... I think it will be less than that.
Wagon has softer springs in than the utes.

I doubt wagons would be able to take more than 200-300kg with the standard springs.
Wagons have 4 thin leaves. XL utes have 3 thin leaves and 1 very thick leaf. XLS utes have 3 thin leaves and 1 thick leaf. I added 2 leaves to my folks wagon and had them reset lower, it still wouldn't take much more than 300-400kg, but it also sits lower than standard. I suspect the wagon chassis/body could be capable of up to 500kg, but you would need some ute springs to do it.

definitely need ute springs in there to reduce the sag for sure.
God even Telstra needed to put ute springs in all of their wagons ... I bet when they go to auction all the rear bushes are flogged out.
