If you put things inside your vehicle - like suitcases, tools, packages, or anything else - they will go as fast as the vehicle goes.

In a trunk, put them as far forward as you can. Try to spread the weight evenly. If you have fold-down rear seats, you will find four anchors on the back wall of your trunk.
