Lathe in a car

What is the load rating of the car? I transported this lathe in my hatchback, but it felt like every bump I hit made it bottom out. It was about 200lbs over what the manual said I could haul. IMG_20180505_121639300_LL.jpg
 
I just bought a SB 9A with 3-1/2' bed. Transported it from Houston to New Orleans in a Chev Malibu. Just folded down the rear seats and broke the SB down into manageable pieces. Easy as can be.
