Trunk getting smaller

[[PBS] Kafka Rambo]

I don't remember this from earlier versions, but atleast in iwbums 41 car trunk gets smaller if you damage it, like back up on zombies a lot. do you loose some of the stuff inside, if your trunk container is full and it gets smaller?

No. But once you pack it out, you cannot pack it back.
Also every trunk has a so called minimal carry capacity even if it is completely trashed afaik.
And organized works on that too, so usually it is around 11-13 pounds totally trashed.

All right, that's a perfect answer, thanks mate! I generally like everything which adds to challenge but not sure about this feature, trunks seem to get really small but I guess I'll use bigger cars for transport and smaller for Mad Max

Nah. Actually with organized perk you will have more space. So for instance most of the time your car seats will have much more space than most of the available trunks.
Every basic car seat with the organized perk will have 26 pounds carry capacity.(Can stock one generator per seat too.)
Smaller cars tend to trash faster, for instance the chevalier dart is a good transport vehicle because it is fast and has 3 seats you can fill up. + the glove holder which will have 6 pounds.(heavy duty ones will have 10 or 12, organized perk)
That is already over 80 pounds to carry. + if you have a normal duffel bag with 3 str, you can usually carry around +30 pounds with you.
The trick with transporting is not to take everything usually with you on the first run. Only thing important is the food that can rot, pack em up and store em in freezers till you can take them back to your hideout. Even in a big supermarket you usually have around a max of 100 pounds of food that can rot, but usually even less.
In Rosewood i managed to clear the big ass restaurant the food market, another restaurant, and stored all the food in Rosewood supermarkets 2 freezers. Only this way was I able to fill two freezers in my base.(104 pounds.) I could carry it back with just ONE car use.

If you really want to move stuff though a well maintained van, that has 6 seats and a trunk is the best. You can fill it up really well. Same with the chevalier nyala looking like wagon.
But be carefull of their motor and muffler.

also cars can have other uses too! You can block entrancens, form barricades etc. If you manage to park them well, you can make an unbreakable barricade, that the zombies wont be able to push out of the way, and with the doors you can have a gate too.
