Didn't grab a pic but I did load my poor XJ down especially with its saggy rear.
5 adults all weighing in 190-300lbs (dont ask...clown car)
3 tool boxes, 13qts of fluids, floorjack, jack stands, spools of wire, 5 cases of beer.
Needless to say I experienced brake fade like I never had in the past. Plus it bounced of the bump stops a few times

Tows pretty good over Pacheco pass. Haven't noticed much change in mileage. My xj is stock besides a cat back exhaust. No muffler just a straight pipe out the side.

Wish I still had pics, but I had about 30 bags of quickcrete laid out in the back seat and hatch once. I still can't believe the axle didn't snap, but I had the spread out pretty well and drove insanely slow back to the job site. Still, it's about 2400 extra pounds in the back.
Didn't really think about it when I went to pick it up, definitely wouldn't do it again.

No pics, but I've pulled a 3/4 ton Chevy out of a creek bed.
His "40 TSL's couldn't save him when he had no FWD
And back in the day when my sister owned it, her and her boyfriend att, and their kids hauled one of these around, in stock trim.
Probably why my leafs were inverted when I got it.

It weighs in at 7K lbs. alone, my brothers 2500 duramax had trouble pulling it. Here is one of the loads I have had in my XJ. I have been getting lawn mowers to fix up (sell in spring) and I fit 3 in the back. I have some 12 or 13 lawn mowers now, they seem to be multiplying and I haven't even bought any lately!
